    <head>Scope and Contents Note</head>
<p>The Albemarle County ledger book (1871-1880; 0.5 cubic feet) is approximately 60 pages of accounts recorded; many names have been lined through, indicating the ledger was repurposed.  Page 50 is an account "An approximation of all debts by me Jan. 1, 1879 with a view of comparisons on Jan'y 1880," and includes monies owed "Geo. M. McIntire, Druggist," "Patterson &amp; Cochrane, Dry goods," and "A.C. Brechin Books," etc.  Pages 52-61 record cash expended for the year 1879 and contain hundreds of entries, including "Ticket to Witherspoon lecture, .25," "Richmond Dispatch, 3.00," "L.T. Hankie, 3 tons coal, 13.65," "Fair to Richmond, 3.00," etc.  The final section of entries, p.299-339, accounts for expenses, mostly "to cash," to a number of individuals -- George Watson, Fred Michels, James Vaughan, Bremont Lewis, Dr. Hart -- as well as to Allison &amp; Co., Thorne &amp; Co., Mssr. Sublett; also Charlottesville Mill Co., and withdrawals from Charlottesville National Bank.</p>  </scopecontent>
