NOTES:
Lines 4-7: Assume that the writer crossed out bills that had already been paid. There are 3 crosses over lines 6 and 7
Line 11: Peleg Cornell mastered the bark Orray Taft on a voyage sailing November 20, 1854. It appears here that he is buying a share in that voyage. Shares are sold in fractions as low as 1/32.
