About This Item
Heavy stock grey sewn wraps. Hand-written in ink and script of the time throughout. Appears to be the day book of Eli Taylor concerning his business dealings, debts and/or credits, as well as an alphabetical Ledger. Also includes a strange poem on the last page regarding the author listening to a friend who talks about his art skills incessantly and so the author commissions a flat bottomed kettle. The friend goes to work but it ends up being both too small and too large, so the author fears it will never get done and so ends the poem with a prayer for the friend to figure out the diameter and length otherwise they doubt it will ever be finished. Liquid staining to back wrap and last few pages, although text is still legible. Losses and wear to wraps (see image). Unpaginated. 7 x 8 1/2 inches.
