Additional information on receipts and payments may be found in the treasurers' reports given in the minutes of the annual meetings. Several different types of records of members' dues are fines are found in this series. The dues books, which are available only for 1833 to 1889, record members' names and the membership dues these individuals paid. The memorandum books are similar in nature, but record members' dues in the form of debits in a dues account. Members' names appear in roughly alphabetical order. The assessment lists were compiled in 1850 and cover the years 1833 to 1850, listing membership dues collected, current members, deceased members, members dismissed, etc. The miscellaneous financial papers include a bond and two fire insurance policies from 1870.
