Transcriber’s Notes:
Spelling and puntuation were changed only where the error appears
to be a printing error. Capitalization and punctuation in the
Receipts section is inconsistent, and was retained as printed.
The remaining corrected punctuation changes are too numerous to
list; the others are as follows:
Page number 283 changed to 289 on title page.
Totals for Massachusetts changed to agree with heading.
Gratton changed to Grafton in receipts for Massachusetts.
