Description

This is a gray ledger with a black spine. "S.E. Ledger 220" is printed in black outline letters in a diagonal box on the front cover. Someone colored in the letters with a red crayon or pencil. Above the title in a box is printed "Ida Louise Dent Avenue, Md. Please Return" Both covers are separated from the page block. On the inside front cover is information about basement switches and the pilot light for the water heater. The first few pages are tabbed alpahabetic pages, some of which are used as an index to other entries, but most are used for various notes. There are many invoices clipped to these pages, including a property tax bill for 1948 and a car tax bill for 1944. All the pages up to p. 46 are present. This person recorded income beginning in 1942, farm expenses, home and farm repairs, war bond purchases, and school expenses. [Miss Dent taught at River Springs School.] Most entries have an end date of 1947.
