John F. Dent's pocket diary for 1875Entry/Object ID
2004.008.0247Description
John F. Dent's pocket diary for 1875. This diary is a combination of account book and daily notes. Most of the entries are in lead pencil, but some are in blue pencil, which is more difficult to read. This is a black or green leather book, green on the inside, with the back cover large enough to wrap around to the front, where it is secured under a strap. The edges of the flap are curved. There is an accordion pocket at the back of this book and a loop for a writing implement. The edges of the pages are gilded. Most of the light colored pages are for specific days and there are memoranda and cash account sheets in the back. The pages are numbered up to p. 155, 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 13th diary filmed.Collection
