The one volume of the journal I have seen
in the original is a tall, narrow, hardbound account book,
about the size of a piece of legal paper folded in half lengthwise.
If you have any idea where the rest of it is, or what happened
to it, please let me know, even if someone threw it away.
I cherish a slight hope that some day I will know where more
of it is. And maybe have photocopies of it.
Of special interest are missing parts:
January 1, 1892 - December 31, 1897
