Title
Daniel Underhill Shipping Ledgers, Book 1, 1826-1834
On page 6-7, the title has an error. It says that the date is Oct. 10, 1862 which is not noted on the ledger. Instead, Oct. 10, 1826 is noted.
On page 34, the dates are also wrong. It is not Sept 17th, 1886, but rather Sept 17th, 1836. The 3 looks very close to an 8 but it is not. The date for March 1883 is actually March 1833.
On page 76, the receipt does actually say 1833 not 1832 as is stated on the title. You can tell that the 2 ink pigment matches the other pigments for the other numbers whereas the 3 is much darker which indicates that it is fresher or written with a different "pen".
