 File — Folder: 1

Scope and Content

From the Collection:

This collection consists of a single small account book maintained by Jacob Morgan, a resident of Alexandria, Virginia. The book is comprised of two distinct sections. The first section contains entries for Morgan's transactions with the Union Bank of Alexandria from 1814 to 1819. The second section, seemingly written in a different hand, appears to record transactions in which farm produce was traded for sewn goods. The entries describe prices due for various articles of clothing purchased from individuals and the credit realized for such goods as bacon and butter.
