A.D. 7 pages. In hand of Albin Rawlins, an account of articles sold at the July 21st sale on six months credit (See "Book of Sales and of Mount Vernon Property").

On last sheet are lists of names and figures, probably a scratch sheet. Autograph document, in hand of A. Rawlins, laminated. This doc. is NOT part of the "Book of Sales of Mt. V. Prop." but a separate doc.
