Carried to new book Mar. 1 1888
This at the back of this journal. Charles Gramesly drew the pen and ink drawing of his father, W.S. Gramesly, age 79 on December 30, 1888.
At the beginning of the new journal there is a map drawn of a piece of property. All dates in this journal and the one before are in black ink and written in a flourished style. the entries themselves are written very small and packed together. Please forgive me if I do not get everything copied exact.
