Handwritten account book, compiled between 1877 and 1882. I was not able to identify the compiler but it looks like they operated a small retail store, possibly food / cosmetics / drugggist. General merchandise

Some of the writing is in light pencil and hard to decipher, some is in ink that is easier to read. 

There are 2 addresses written inside back cover that are legible - 29 W. 131st St and 219 W. 25th St.. There are other NYC addresses written in the book. 

Lots of full names written in the book, could make an interesting research project.  

75 to 100 pages
