These records were hard for me to read, partly because I now have poor eyesight in my right eye and the handwriting was so small in places that I had to assume what it was. I?m sure I made some errors and I will review them to see what I can change (correct). I?m not familiar with the Pounds, Shillings & Pence Monetary system and some of the records were recorded in it and some in the dollar system which we use. But nevertheless, these records did give us a lot of information. -Ruth M. Austin
