An original merchant bill/account dated December 26, 1804, apparently issued by BOWMAN & PENROSE and addressed to DAVID GOODALE. The document appears to originate from New Braintree, Massachusetts, and records a variety of household and dry-goods purchases with individual line-item prices and a total account balance.
The surviving handwritten entries include numerous period commodities and general store merchandise, with calculations carried through to a final balance. The reverse is annotated \"Bowman & Penrose Bill Decemr 1804,\" helping identify and date the piece. The document measures approximately 8 x 9.5 inches and remains in as-found condition with significant age-related wear, edge losses, staining, fold lines, and paper losses from long-term storage.
Early American merchant accounts from the Federal period are desirable to collectors of Massachusetts history, genealogy, mercantile records, and early commerce. The inclusion of the customer name David Goodale adds genealogical research value.
