Single ledger sheet detailing transactions at Jonathan Hart's shop from September 23 to September 30, 1794. This sheet appears to be a summary of totals, possibly part of a larger six-sheet ledger (Reference No. 2020.12.29.00059). While kept by Hart, it suggests a partnership with Levi Solomons, who may have supplied the goods. This document is from an archive of 56 documents concerning the division of the Aaron Hart estate after his death on December 28, 1800, in Trois-Rivières, Quebec. The archive was found among the papers of Judge James Reid (1769-1848), the Hart family's lawyer. This specific item is among 28 mercantile papers, including ledger sheets and promissory notes, predating Aaron Hart's death and used as evidence in estate proceedings.
