This Almanac (or Table) will be found useful in calculating the time when notes become due. For instance-if a note is dated February 11th, at 90 days, that date, as will be seen, is the 42d day of the year, being in a line with 11 in the index, or left-hand column, to which add, 93 days (which includes 3 days grace) and the table shows the 135th day of the year to be May 15th, and falling on Wednesday. 61 92 123 4. 6.
