But to avoid mistakes upon a subject, where I am not very well versed either in the style or matter, I will transcribe an account sent me by a person who is thoroughly instructed in these affairs.
If the charge account is to remain open until the next crop comes in, on some rainy day he will transcribe the charge to his day-book.
