I think your "Br" or "DV" to Rocky Dr. is a delivery fee for the furniture. And the jumbled words next to the name "Sam Conch" are Purveyors of Kitch. Chairs or Cabinets? Sub

If you have the chairs that go with that note the value of the chairs just went up!

I think the writing which follows the 1 in line 2 and line 4 is "Do" -- which was the 19th-Century's commonplace abbreviation for the word "ditto" -- meaning, same-word-as-above in invoice lists. I see it used occasionally in civil war era Ordnance Department invoice receipts.
