John F. Dent's pocket diary for 1870Entry/Object ID
2004.008.0242Description
John F. Dent's pocket diary for 1870. This diary is a combination of account book and daily notes. The entries are nearly all in pencil; some of the writing is incredibly tiny. There are four sheets of paper folded and tucked in the back of the book--this appears to be a speech on agricultural markets. This is a red leather book with an all-over diamond pattern stamped on it. The back cover is large enough to wrap around to the front. The edge of the flap is straight. There is an accordion pocket at the back of this book and a loop for a writing implement. Most of the light colored pages are for specific days and there are memoranda and cash account sheets in the back. The pages were numbered up to p. 101, but then the numbering was abandoned. Mr. Dent entered what he needed wherever he wanted to put it. A tab of paper indicates that this was the 8th diary filmed.Collection
