The manuscript entries list a wide assortment of textile goods and sewing materials typical of the period’s wholesale trade.
Items recorded include gingham, bishop lawn, cambric, Irish linens, dimity, jacconet, quilting, cotton hose, silk braid, pearl buttons, mitts, ribbons, and drill fabric, reflecting the variety of imported cloth and dress materials circulating through Boston’s dry goods market.
The document measures approximately 8 × 9.75 inches and records a substantial account totaling $303.09, indicating a large purchase of fabrics and clothing materials likely intended for retail sale or tailoring use.
