    Carrie Belle Deal Ellis diary and receipt book

    Manuscripts

    A manuscript diary kept by Carrie Belle Deal Ellis from December 5, 1892 to May 15, 1893. The diary, written in pencil, records her daily life along with occasional entries listing her expenditures. The entries detail her activities, including painting, and other experiences, and thoughts, as well as her travels, health, the lives of her children, and other domestic concerns. The diary is bound in contemporary sheep with some minor edge wear and soiling, the rear endpaper is loose and some pages at the front of the volume have been removed. The diary is accompanied by a receipt book dated from 1909 to 1912, from the area of Auburn, California. The first entry is 152 which would indicate this volume is part of a series of receipt books. This volume was found with the diary, though there are no details within the book that directly ties it to Carrie Ellis. But, as the Ellis family lived in Washington, California, very near Auburn, it is possible this receipt book belonged to her or a family member. The receipt book is contemporary quarter brown cloth and marbled paper boards, with some creasing on the back cover, and damage to the spine.
