Mostly various cleaning, mending, and chimney sweeping activities. One entry for "Drawing Tooth for your Negro." Accounts from 1766-1770, and two from 1774. A 12 April 1785 note on the verso indicates that Champlin personally verified the account and another note dated 5 May 1787 and signed by Champlin indicates he received the account. J. Barker attests that Champlin has made the claim under oath.
