A Bill of Clem Wherry, Boatwright

A found paper of Sogmarsh — The Drownings. Rendered at the year's turn; paid, as the total shows, in kind.

THE ACCOUNT of CLEM WHERRY, Boatwright, to the House of Skeel, for the Year:

— Caulked the good boat, twice ............................ two favours — Spliced the third stilt (the one that goes) ............ one side of bacon — Raised the floor, half a day, with Ma Skeel ............. nothing, and glad to — Made a coffin for old Beake, and floated the family's dresser to the high house on the same tide ... no charge; you do not bill a house for its grief — Patched the leak nobody would own ...................... six eels

TOTAL: paid in full — in eels, bacon, favours, and one thing not spoken of. — C. Wherry, who has never lost a boat.
