Title

Accounts-- Expenses recorded by Benjamin Chew, Jr. for Samuel Chew, 1799

Description

Copy of a short list of expenses by Benajmin Chew, Jr. for Samuel Chew. There are multiple lines for the plantation Whitehall and one for Duck Cross Roads. There is an expense for a porter/overseer for blankets, as well as a negro woman with the mention of cloth. The line is not legible enough to discern whether the payment is for the woman or something regarding cloth, perhaps for the enslaved women. The last line mentions "Henriette", but it is difficult to read what the context is.
