Manuscripts
A small pocket diary for 1864 with very brief entries, including rather laconic mentions of the demonstration on the Rapidan (February 6-7, 1864), battles of the Wilderness (May 6-7), Laurel Hill (May 8), Spottsylvania (May 8-12), Jericho Ford (May 25), Totopotomoy (May 28-31) and Cold Harbor (June 1-12). The diary fills about half of the Pocket Diary for 1864 (New York: Willy Wallach); the entries from June 19 on are blank.

Daily records document personal and family matters; affairs of the local clergymen, including an account of a contested ordination in Amesbury parish in 1754 that involved a candidate who "went to hear Mr. Whitefield" and a short obituary of Aaron Burr; social and political life in Newburyport and Boston, including records of public fasts and thanksgivings, general elections, and schools; war news, including the closing of the King George's War, the events of the French and Indian War, and the siege of Havana in Aug. 1762. The diaries also contain extensive meteorological records that are arranged to match the respective entries in the Ames' Almanack, natural disasters that took place in Newbury and Boston areas -- fires, earthquakes, lightning strikes, storms, droughts, and epidemics
