Soap & Currants

Mr Ellis Thomas                               Liverpool

Bought of Jos Jones

Oct 17, 1839

One hundredweight sugar

2 boxes soap

3 Blue soap

3 ditto

1 Box Raisins

1 Bag Currants

1 Pun Treacle

Bag 10d, Ship 4/- 

post and packing

The whole came to £84, 1/- 4d (eighty four pounds, one shilling & fourpence)

I think the underlined writing at the bottom says by Gwydir Castle  which could be the name of a ship, indicating that the goods were brought into Wales from Liverpool by sea. I cannot read the second underlined word although it may be a signature as it is followed by the payment due date Nov 18^th – by cash £34.0.0.

There were no envelopes in those days so the invoice was folded for posting and addressed on the other side to Mr Ellis Thomas, Grocer,  Penmachno, Nr Llanrwst
