Journals of the Continental Congress, 1774-1789
EXPENDITURES FOR THE YEAR 17791

[Note 1: 1 This appendix was printed in the original issue of the Journals (1782), but was omitted from the subsequent issues. It is based upon a record kept by Charles Thomson in the first of the so-called "Dispatch Books" (Papers of the Continental Congress, No. 185), in which were entered the letters and papers received by Congress, the disposition made of them, and the composition of the committees. This record was begun on January 1, 1779, and at the end of Volume I is found this financial statement. In the pages following are noted the changes to be made in the printed Journals. but these were already embodied in the text.]
