A record that was part of manorial account of Lahis estate. Mentions Marcus Jörensson (fol. 1), who was presumably the bailiff, and the owner of the estate, Anna Hogenskild (fol. 2). The account is clearly written and structured, and the most likely place of writing is Lahis estate.

The estate of Lahis was part of a larger set of possessions in Finland which also included the estates of Nynäs and Vik along with their tenant farms.

The financial records of Nynäs and related estates came to the Swedish Crown, and later the Swedish National Archives, when the possessions and archives of Hogenskild Bielke were confiscated following his execution in 1605 (see Introduction to these descriptions).
