Fragmented Notes From a Local Family Journal
A fragmented household record recounts a well to do girl studying English and piano, with pen pals in Waterloo and New Yorkland, and a busy family of many brothers and sisters. It mentions neighbors and friends, a World War I era incident, barn swallows, a birthday, crops, a California trip, and a cemetery shrine, ending unfinished with plans to write more.
