Scope and content:

Autograph document, 7 pages. In hand of Albin Rawlins, an account of articles sold at the July 21st sale on six months credit (See "Book of Sales and of Mount Vernon Property"). This appears to be a rough draft (made at the time of auction) of the list entered in this executors' account book -- Rawlins' list gives name of purchaser, item and price; sale of chariot and harness, coachee, horses, clover machine, sheep, bulls, cows, calves, steers, marquee, tents, saddles, canteen, tin machine, saws and other tools, malt mill, "The Knight of Malta," reams of paper, wax, French horn, pump, locks, tool chest, hoes, sheet copper, old iron, rope, etc., copying press, yawl [an incomplete summary of the contents]. On last sheet are lists of names and figures, probably a scratch sheet. Autograph document, in hand of A. Rawlins, laminated. This doc. is NOT part of the "Book of Sales of Mt. V. Prop." but a separate doc.
