Hewstone Raymenton and Hazel Raymenton travel diary
Manuscripts
The Raymentons wrote this volume during their travels across the United States in July to October 1916. Remy spent a month at a civilian military training camp (part of the Preparedness Movement) in Plattsburgh, New York. The diary is approximately 65% in Remy's hand. Some of the diary is recorded in Hazel's hand (but Remy's voice), so presumably this is a fair copy of the original diary. Miscellaneous ephemera is tipped and laid in.
