Description

John F. Dent's pocket diary for 1894, with a title page that says "Excelsior Diary 1894." It was presented to Mr. Dent by Dr. St. Clair, his brother-in-law. This diary is a combination of an account book and daily notes. The entries are in lead pencil. This is a dark red leather book, the same on the inside, with the back cover large enough to wrap around over the front. The corners of the flap are curved. There is an accordion pocket at the back of this book and a loop for a writing implement. All 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. Most of the cash account pages were not used, although a few were used for miscellaneous notes. A tab of paper indicates that this was the 33rd diary filmed.
