Title
University Repair Fund Balance Sheets - 1853
transcript
Due to the nature of record keeping several of the document's entries use the standard ditto sign (two small marks indicating repetition) or other duplication mark. To help readers easier, wherein the author used these marks, 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. This item, in particular, includes both accounts for the improvement and repairs fund (the larger document on the right side) and the contigencies fund (the smaller document on the left side) from 1853, as the two are archived together. We have chosen to start the transcription below with the improvement and repairs fund for consistancy with the other records in this item set.
