About This Collection

A record of state monetary transactions kept on a daily basis relating to the payment and settlement of public money, kept by Comptroller General John Nicholson for the purpose of auditing, liquidating and adjusting Commonwealth accounts. Although the transactions recorded date from 1775-1785, the journals themselves were probably created in the late 1790's. Information given includes a description of each transaction, amounts received or paid, page number for the corresponding entry in RG 4/10- Continental Journals, 1775-1785, also digitized, and often the date of the transaction. Images are arranged chronologically by date of transaction. This collection is part of the Office of the Comptroller General which was created in 1782.
