Front Cover of David Sanders' Account Book

These have been sitting on my shelf for years and I have been meaning to transcriber them  They are the account books for the flour mill my 3rd Great-Grandfather David Sanders had in Whately, MA,  I will do my best o transcribe them accurately but there are some words I just can't decipher and those will be marked with [ILLEGABLE] tag.  The front cover of the book had some writing on it, but it is to faded to read.  You will also see references to my 2nd Great-grandfather Benjamin Franklin Reed in the book.
