Dingley's Account.
| Received of Mr. Tooke | 6 | 17 | 6 | |
| Deducted for entering the letter of attorney | 0 | 2 | 6 | |
| For the three half crowns it used to cost you, I don't know why nor wherefore | 0 | 7 | 6 | |
| For exchange to Ireland | 0 | 10 | 0 | |
| For coach-hire | 0 | 2 | 6 | |
| In all, just | 8 | 0 | 0 | |
So there's your money, and we are both even: for I'll pay you no more than that eight pounds Irish, and pray be satisfied.
