Fragmented 18th century ledger and South Sea scandal notes
A damaged excerpt records financial entries and bank transactions from 1921, with scattered items mentioning stock purchases, cash payments, and notes of receivables. It also includes a late 17th/early 18th century parliamentary account describing Francis Hawes and Mr Aiflabie in relation to a South Sea Company dispute and a burned book, with details of a missing duplicate, oblique to the official inquiry.
