The first 32 pages of the diary relate to the overland part of the journey as the author, probably a young woman, and her mother leave San Francisco to travel to New York by train. The author comments upon her stays in Ogden, Omaha, and Chicago, and her first views of Niagara Falls. The last 10 pages concern their ocean voyage to England. Throughout the entire journey, the author relates detailed stories of her travel companions and their experiences. The initials "L. F." are stamped on the cover and may be the author's initials
