This week's poser is the second part of a list of goods imported by Adam Smith, merchant, to Aberdeen, 1683 (National Records of Scotland, E72/1/10, page 1).

The handwriting is rushed and abbreviations used where possible. The clerk emphasises his capital letters by additional swirls which leads in most cases to interference with letters on the line below. Watch out for phonetic spellings, the way the clerk forms his letters e and s.

This week's question: what are the items imported?
