| Description | The ledgers are very similar to the cash books, in that they record money coming into and going out of the Union's account, but they appear to have a more rigid format. Rather than running chronologically, the volumes are divided up alphabetically, according to the individual or company from whom money was received, or to whom it was paid. Unfortunately, many of the pages are headed with just the name of an individual, with very few clues as to why the Union was involved in transactions with them. |
