Description
An account of the resource
The collection includes six ledger books of O. T. & J. Hewlett, including a petty cash ledger; a bill book containing “payable” and “receivable” bills of the firm; two bank ledgers, one labeled “Fulton Bank," and one simply labeled “O. T. & J. Hewlett, Oct. 1938,” from an unidentified bank; a cash ledger; and, a letter book containing copies of letters that provide a running account of the business dealings of O. T. & J. Hewlett. Many of the letters sought payment of outstanding debts, while others dealt with the sale of building lots in Detroit, Michigan.
The collection also includes two ledger books belonging to Peter T. Hewlett. The first, a Glen Cove Mutual Insurance Company ledger, contains receipts and notes of various business dealings as well as a list of certificates read at company meetings in Near (now known as East) Rockaway and Hempstead, N.Y. The second, a cash ledger, contains a running account of Peter’s business dealings as well as various letters, notes and certificates. The entries in this ledger mainly span the years 1865-1885, but there are also a small number of entries from 1889, which was four years after Peter’s death. Labeled “accounts of Barn brought over,” these entries are presumed to have been made by another Hewlett family member.
