BIOGRAPHICAL STATEMENT
John Read was a lawyer,
financier, and philanthropist in
Martha Meredith (1773-1817) was the daughter of General Samuel Meredith, the first treasurer of the United States and a successful business man in Philadelphia. The Reads’ children were John Meredith (1797-1874), Edward (died young), Henry Meredith (1802-1829), and Margaret Meredith (1806-1854). Various members of the Meredith and Read families are mentioned in the account book.
SCOPE AND CONTENT
Volume consists of two
sections. The first, kept from 1799 to
1801, was used to record the official accounts of Read as agent general. Entries list amounts paid to special agents
in counties throughout the
Scattered throughout these business records are mentions of such things as support for his church, purchases of shoes and other items of clothing, some grocery items (sugar, tea, coffee, etc.), “railings for my front door step,” a tombstone, and buying the time of an African American boy named Joshua Parnall. (This boy had been purchased by his own father, and may have been hired as an indentured servant.) There are also entries for house and stable repairs and painting, as well as purchases of home furnishings, including a washing machine, an 8-day clock, a bedstead, a leaf for a table, gilt chairs, a patent stove, carpeting, dimity, and fringe. An unusual purchase was that of a “thunder conductor,” presumably meaning a lightning rod. Read paid people to hang wallpaper in various rooms, including his tea room. Mrs. Jones made curtains for the house. William Woollett was paid for copying a portrait of Read’s father.
The volume opens with a comment on an essay published by Read at age 22, and how he now realizes how superficial his understanding was at that age.
