Note: the following invoice and inventory was extremely difficult to transcribe, probably for several reasons, including the handwriting, the spelling of the person doing the invoice and a lack of familiarity on my part with some of the products being invoiced meaning that I was unable to decipher the handwriting. I apologize for the poor quality of the transcription.
