The first ledger is a monthly time book for the years 1936 to 1941, which contains the pay records for the employees of the peach orchard, who were Sikh, Chinese, Japanese, white, and Mexican. The second ledger is a journal of expenses for the years 1942 to 1955, which records household, personal, and some farm expenses.
