Account ledger of a general merchandise store in the eastern panhandle of Virginia, (later West Virginia) documenting transactions of goods purchased, services rendered as payment on accounts and balances owed.

I congratulate you on your return. In your absence I took a liberty in the direction of your affairs. I wrote Captain Holcombe requesting him to let me have 10,000 weight of your present crop of tobacco. He brought it to the inspection at Manchester. The sale of the Negroes will be on the 21st of this month. I have prevailed upon my creditors to wait for their money. I hope you will eat New Year's dinner with us.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
