transcript
Due to the nature of record keeping several of the document's entries use the standard ditto sign (two small marks indicating repetition). To help readers easier, wherein the author used cases of the ditto mark, we chose to either exclude or note them with [ditto] in our transcription. In cases of the month and date, for instance, we note only changes from the previous entry. The reader should also note that excluding the first six entries all relate to expenditures marked with "Paid" at the beginning of the entry.
