Account book, 'Ma', numbered '148', of Andrew Fletcher, Lord Milton., 1749-1750.
No completely logical arrangement of these books is possible, due to multiple use of the same book, to the existence of the same accounts in draft and final form, and to the fact that in his old age Lord Milton repeatedly revised and extracted old accounts.
