This sixteen-leaf volume records the accounts of a late eighteenth-century store owner and farmer in Norwich, Connecticut. Most of the volume records work done for him by African-American laborers, who were paid in goods from his store. Two women appear in the volume Mrs. Darrow, and Hannah Danforth. Both women paid for groceries by spinning yarn.
