19th Century term...?



Please excuse cross-postings-

Hello,

I have a question about the term "sickness" as used in an 1850's ledger
that I am transcribing. The ledger lists the debits and credits of students
attending this man's school. The term falls under the credits section where
it lists how the debits were paid for. Some just say "By cash $10." While
others say "By sickness $4. By cash $7." Is anyone familiar with the use of
this term at that time? or know where I can look for the answer?

Thanks in advance for your help, Adrienne Marrah-Program Assistant
