Fragmented account describes an exceptionally severe long winter with deep snows mid-November to mid-February, freezing creeks and rivers, widespread hardships for pioneers, hunger among wildlife, and icebound travel from Kentucky to Philadelphia. It includes anecdotal notes on a Baltimore tale of transformed beauty, a rheumatism anecdote, and scattered poetry clippings.
In a Polish village a poor widow Brigitte and her pale daughter White-Thorn endure hardship after Brigitte’s brothers seize inheritance. White-Thorn befriends a robin Red-Breast who guides her to transform magical tokens into a white cow Morla then Sea-Horse, enabling wealth.

It invites readers to visualize via figures and a parallelogram layout.
A story drawn from Charley Thompson’s jokes recounts a court scene where a liquor seizure tied to the defendant’s premises leads to a dramatic defense by attorney Michael McCarty.

It also includes a Dubuque dream anecdote about fate and magnetism linking future spouses.
A jumble of notes and anecdotes from a past era references masquerade balls, odd weight measures, and curiosities in law, trade and social customs.
