Account book of Edward Griswold. 1785-1840's. 8.25" x 13" x 2" extremely worn leather covers with embossed border-front and back covers each have a hole in the leather appearing that some type of seal has been removed, pages have water marks with a seal and others have the mark "N. Patten". Writting on cover is badly worn but appears to say "Edward Griswold Book". Writing on the back is hard to decipher, pages in the front of the book have been cut out - tabbed letters "F" through "Q" are now at the beginning, further along in the book more pages have been removed. Handwritten entries 1785-1820's plus a few later entries to the early 1840's. Entries are not necessarily in chronological order. They refer to farm work and products and also to services, like planting. There is an account for Mary Hooker, probably the daughter of Dr. Chaffee.
