Clothing Purchase (Other) £18 18s External Mr. Barber for a dark Brown [illeg] Velvet suit Lac'd with Gold for Mr. Macklin "Mr. Barber for" written once but applying to this and another entry. "for Mr. Macklin" looks as though it has been crossed out, but is written in different handwriting and referred to by a ditto in the following entry, so was probably written in at a later time than the line which appears to be crossing through it. However, it is possible that it was meant to be written after the following entry only, and the scribe crossed it out from this one but nonetheless decided to convey it by a ditto for that one.
