For this seventh day of #historyinherhands , I offer a curiosity. The note at the bottom of this bill suggests purchases of a hat, lace, and ruche two and three years prior may have been concealed or otherwise forgotten. The note reads: “This bill is one we presume you do not know of, but have taken the liberty to send to you as it has been on our books some time.”
That’s odd, “Rc’d Payment” is written on the bill!
