Description

Brown leather wallet with attractive silver filigree corners on the top flap. The top folds over the bottom, but there is no obvious fastener. There is residue from a rubber band, so perhaps that was how it was fastened. Inside there are two pockets on the top flap and a loop meant to hold a writing implement. On the bottom half is an accordion pocket, but the mid-section has come loose. Nonetheless, it has remained with the wallet. Tucked in what had been the accordion pocket are twenty-two folded sheets, most of which are about an annual festival held to benefit All Saints Episcopal Church. Ida Dent was either the chair of the event or the treasurer. There is also a receipt for the proceeds of the colored festival of an unnamed year. There is also a 1903 list of the furnishings of the Rectory and two receipts for the church's fire insurance.
