Manuscripts
The majority of the journal contains prescriptions Gow made for his customers and the recipes for those prescriptions. The volume also contains two other sections: a female relative of Gow's recorded 19th century poetry in parts of the book and there is also a section titled, "Journal of a Seaman in the Forecastle." This diary section contains accounts from 1851 to 1852 of an anonymous sailor who sailed from Boston to San Francisco in a clipper and then chronicles his time in Port Adelaide, Australia. There are also two pages of what may be the ship's manifest.
