These relate to the way Mr. Dwight had of being his own banker by hiding his money in all sorts of out-of-the-way corners of his pot-works until wanted. Probably there may still be some of _this_ “treasure-trove,” as well as his moulds and models, &c., to be turned on by some fortunate possessor of the place. “_1693 9ber._[45]--In ye garret in a hole vnder ye fire-place 240 G.[46] in a wooden box.[47] “In ye old Labouratory at the old house, in two holes vnder the fire-place on both sides ye ffurnace in 2 half pint Gor: Couered 460. “Behind the door of the Old Labouratory, & within ye end of ye bench, in a pot couered 200. “In ye second presse in ye said Laboura: vnder some papers at ye bottome in a bag some mill’d money.[47] “Behind ye doore of the little parlor old house in a corner some mill’d money.[47] “In ye same little parlour behind some boxes just going into ye kitchen some mill’d money.[47] “In ye second side hole at the bottome of ye first ffurnace in ye kitchen on ye right hand going to ye chimney, pott of Gui:[46][47] “between a little ffurnace & great one that joynes to ye oven behind Shouels & forks some Gui:[47] “Close by those Shouells w^{th} in a hole into ye vent of ye same large furnace, Gui:[47] “In two holes of that great furnace running in almost to the Ouen, 2 boxes full of mill’d money.

Dwight her Book 8 12 4 Ly Fulham” evidently in her own handwriting, and which I take to mean “Lydia Dwight, her book, Fulham, 15”--the 15 being her age, which is arrived at by adding the figures together as they occur in form of a cross, 1, 2, 8, and 4.
