Gershom Breed, account ledger, 1764

Author Breed, Gershom

Date1764

ms number764900.1

abstractGershom Breed's bill against Wheelock for goods furnished to Occom and others.

handwritingThere are three different hands on the document; all are formal, clear and legible.

paperLarge sheet is in fair condition, with heavy creasing and wear.

inkBrown ink varies in intensity.

noteworthyDue to the format of ledger transcription, line breaks do not necessarily match those in the document. In instances where Breed's intention regarding a word or abbreviation is uncertain, the word or abbreviation has been left unmodified in the modernized transcription. The meaning of a symbol that appears as a small double l with a strike-through is uncertain, though it appears to be an abbreviation for weight, specifically poundage. The “per” symbol appears to have been used to signify both “per” and “pair.” An editor, likely 19th-century, added the note “G. Breed 1764” to two verso; this note has not been included in the transcription.

signatureThere are two signatures.

EventsBuilding of Occom’s house
