| Description | This volume performs two purposes, with the front and back of the volume being used for recording two different accounts. The front of the volume deals with 'ordinary daily charge of housekeeping at Charity School in Birmingham', recording: date, amounts spent on bread, meat, milk, flour, cheese, oatmeal, salt, bacon, soap, etc. The back of the volume deals with the 'balance of the weekly accompt.' The back of the volume records the same as the front (i.e. date, amount spent on bread, etc.) but instead of recording how much is spent on each item, it records 'expended' and 'remains', i.e. what has been spent and what is left in the account. |
