[Transcriber's note: 10 dy nails are 10 penny nails, a particular size and weight of nail.]
[Transcriber's note re May 3. The unit price for the Files seems to be 1 shilling 7.5 pence each and the compasses seems to be 7.5 p. But the total reflects only the price of one File plus the price of one compass.]
