record of lumber sales. Each entry reveals the name of the purchaser, date of
purchase, name of the cargo ship carrying the lumber, quantity of lumber and lath
involved in the sale, cost of the lumber and lath, the half-tally cost, and the total
sale price. A few nondescript cash book entries are also to be found in this
