Single bifolium plus one leaf measuring 13 x 8 inches (33 x 20 cm). The leaves are lined with 37 blue horizontal lines (now faded). Printed in black ink in the top right corner is the date line, business logo, and address for Keeler, McNeil & Co. in several font types, with two black printed horizontal lines dividing the business logo from the inscription. The left and right margins of each page contain manually inscribed vertical brown lines (one on the left; three on the right) forming ledger columns. The document was folded into a barrel fold creating five panels. Graphite and black ink redactions throughout the invoice are in unidentified handwriting; a light brown ink redaction is in the handwriting of Marcellus Cowdery. Cowdery docketed the verso of the last leaf on the fourth panel: “Keeler, McNeil & Co | Dry Goods | $2959.46” in black ink; “Error on 1st Sheet | $24. Under Chgd.” in light brown ink; and “Examined | MFC” in graphite. The pattern of coal dust on the verso third panel suggests it remained in a folded state for some time. The second bifolium page and single leaf were formerly stapled or pinned together.

This document was in the possession of church agents who purchased dry goods from Keeler, McNeil & Co. in . Based on the docket by Cowdery, the invoice was in church possession by 1837, suggesting continuous institutional custody.
