***Document is as close to original as possible, including 
spelling --
? means a word or letter was un-readable **** There was no Column 
headings so I do not know what "To" means at each line, nor the 
three columns to the far right, (Possibly break down of Pounds, 
shillings and pence - that would be my guess.)
