John F. Dent's pocket diary for 1881Entry/Object ID
2004.008.0254Description
John F. Dent's pocket diary for 1881, with a title page that says "Excelsior diary 1881." It was presented to Mr. Dent by Dr. St. Clair. This diary is a combination of account book and daily notes. The entries are in lead pencil. This is a black leather book, gray on the inside, with the back cover large enough to wrap around to the front where it is secured under a strap on the front cover, but the strap has failed and is gone. The edges of the flap are curved and the end of the strap echoes this design. There is an accordion double 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. A tab of paper indicates that this was the 20th diary filmed.Collection
