It starts with a table of contents listed in alphabetical order. In addition to accounts for mundane items, such as candles, nails, rum and sugar, that are listed under personal names, there are others that include expenses of a voyage to London, accounts of Boarded Hall Estate, money paid to the apothecary who looked after 178 "Negroes", i.e. slaves, when they were sick, necessary items purchased for those sick "Negroes," taking a "Negro" who absented himself from work out of a cage, accounts of a levy or tax on land and on slaves, and accounts for the trial of a "Villain Negro" named Cooper, who broke open and robbed the buildings twice. In addition, the book contains detailed lists of the "Negroes" on Boarded Hall Plantation, together with their name, age, value, gender, occupation, and health, ending with a number showing the increase or decrease in slaves since the last count. This is followed by a list of cattle, a list of fields and what was planted on them, and finally an estimated appraisal of the value of all items mentioned above, which was the value of Boarded Hall Plantation. The book is signed by S. T. Partridge, Apothecary, D. Walcott, Samuel Drayton, and John Manning.
