John T. B. McMaster ledger of the medical practice of John T. B. McMaster and John L. Hearn
Manuscripts
This bound-volume is a ledger kept by Dr. John T. B. McMaster and his partner Dr. Hearn regarding their medical visits to citizens of New Town, Worcester County, Maryland from 1850 to 1852. The doctors include name of patient (some of the time), reason for visiting, treatment, date of visit, and the fee paid to them for services. The doctors treated both whites and blacks (free blacks, fugitives and slaves). In their ledger, if the patient was black, they would write "Negro" after the patients' name (although it is expected that not every black is identified as such). The patients include a slave at Beverly, a large estate owned by John Upshur Dennis.

Los Angeles County ledger recording commercial licenses
Manuscripts
A ledger recording commercial licenses issued by the County of Los Angeles between 1852 and 1855. The licenses are for selling general merchandise; operating a restaurant; selling wine and liquor; and being a foot peddler. For each license granted, the ledger records the date of transaction, period of the license (mostly only good 3-6 months), person to whom it was granted, and fee paid to the County. Only 25 pages of the ledger are used, but they record about 400 transactions and seem to be a complete record of the period May 1852 to May 1855.
