[Note regarding College expenditures, 1794]

One leaf containing a handwritten note intended to justify the expenses of the College with financial figures about the salaries of past presidents and a list of the College's physical plant intended to indicate that "the annual charge for repairs & incidental expenses, it is hoped, will not appear immodest." The note is undated, but the "present arrears" of the College is listed as £198 indicating it was written before the use of the dollar sign. The note is accompanied by a brown paper packet marked "College Sundries" that originally housed the item.
