Antique handwritten receipt for barrel whiskey dated 1817.

This receipt among others, was found in a house that my Great Aunt purchased in Boone County Kentucky several decades ago. We believe this is a decendent of John Ewalt and Henry Ewalt.

Information I found from one of many webpages here:

http://www.shawhan.com/ewalt.html

The name Richard Ewalt appears twice on the receipt, front and back. It is very hard for me to make out the script penmanship, but appears to read:

Mr. Richard Ewalt, bought of G. Kimmel

4 barrels whiskey ea. 33 ga. $132-

2 (illegible) 68-

6 barrels (illegible) 7.00

-------------------------------

$207.00

Sir, (illegible) sent you the last of your whiskey by federal cramer all in good order which I expect you will (illegible)

Yours most respectfully,

George Kimmel (illegible)

This may be read easily by someone with a better eye than myself.

The receipt measures approximately 7.75" by 5.25" and has fold lines and much tanning, more so than my photograph shows. A wonderful historical piece that would frame wonderfully.
