An account of the expenses of the contractor John Durand for the provisions he delivered to the Commissary of Stores at Cork, Ireland for 4,850 British troops in America. The contract was dated 2 September 1779. The left column of the account has debits while the right has credits. The credits were received from 23 September 1779 to 7 December 1779 and add up to slightly over 42,296 pounds. The debits begin on 8 March 1780 and end on 16 August 1780. The debits match the credits with slightly more than 42,296 pounds. The account is also signed by Francis Maseres, Cursitor Baron of the Exchequer, asserting that Durand took an oath saying this account was correct to the best of his knowledge.
