Trade ledger fragment lists table linens napkins and towels with prices per dozen yard measures and bolt counts. Includes Turkish bath towels, linen Huck towels, cotton towels, ginghams, calico, madras cloth, dress styles, and pepperel shirtings with assorted discounts and bulk quantities. Names of fabrics and prices suggest a wholesale catalog entry from a general store.
