Scattered throughout the book are transcriptions of letters and portrait sketches. The user of this book is unknown; while the name "Margaretta G.

Mary Stuart Bailey journal
Manuscripts
HM 2018 is the original journal of thirty handwritten pages, dated April 13, 1852 through November 8, 1852. Also included is a negative photostat of the 1850 Federal Census of Lucas County, Ohio, showing entries for Mary Stuart Bailey, her husband Dr. Frederick E. Bailey, and Harriet Bailey, as well as four typewritten pages showing burial plots in Association Cemetery (Sylvania, Ohio), wherein rests Harriet Bailey. HM 2019 is a typescript of an extract of the journal, through October 31. Also included here are two typewritten pages by Mrs. W.W. Hicks relating further information about the Baileys, and a map of the Salt Lake Trail. The journal itself is Mary Bailey's account of her journey. She stops in St. Louis, Missouri to see friends, and gives shelter to some Indians in "destitute condition." After a hard journey, they reach California in October, and Bailey writes in her final entry, "I do not think we shall be as well off as at home."
