Letter and list of costs, 14 February 1692

The sender informs Robert Forbes about a transaction and goods, then lists several costs or charges. Several types of goods and figures are visible, but not all names, units, or totals can be read reliably. Page 41 is the address side.

AI-assisted edition. Working partial reading. The day 14 and year 1692 are probable; the full date and accounting details need checking. Readings must be checked against the original.

Translation / modern text

The letter dated February 1692 combines news of a transaction with a list of several costs or values. Figures appear beside entries, but their currency and assignment to specific goods cannot be established confidently. Page 41 contains the address side.
