Based on our reading, the handwritten entries are believed to document a lumber transaction with M. T. Jones Lumber Co. in Dallas, Texas. The sheet contains an extensive itemized tally of lumber quantities, dimensions, and footage, along with accounting and freight-related notations.
This interpretation is offered to the best of our ability. Handwritten names, figures, and abbreviations may be read differently; please examine the photographs for the actual wording and details.
