The record is incomplete, being sixteen leaves of a household account book of a Mrs Youles (no longer living in 1864). On the cover is the date 1864 but the surviving papers refer to the period 1861-January 1862. The account primarily lists foodstuffs but also includes other domestic requirements such as matches and newspapers. It is divided into three columns recording the date of purchase, the produce, and the cost.
