These volumes are ledgers of accounts with purchasers of lots or portions thereof in townships of the Holland Land Purchase. Each account includes the following data: name of purchaser, date of sale, location of lands, lot and section number, and debits and credits entered by date. Principal and interest are entered in separate columns. The debits and credits are entered on facing pages. Often several different accounts for successive purchases of the same lot or a portion thereof are found on the same page. Many of the credits are for payments in cash, while other payments were made in wheat or cattle. At the fore of each volume is a map of lots in the township.
