content: Dr. Winslow's account books, July 1874-April 1887, consist of fourteen small paper bound notebooks.  Several are hand sewn to bind them and the cover of the first is made from a first class commercial note.

Notebooks from the beginning through 1880 have alternate pages of expenses and receipts.  Other notebooks from 1875 through 1887 have alphabetic listings of patients, with amounts owed, payments made, or x's when the debt continues outstanding.  Sometimes notes indicate that the patient is gone, cannot be found or is dead.  Sometimes initials appear indicating that a specific bill collector has been asked to handle the account.
