Journal of a Young Lady of Virginia 1782

Baltimore: John Murphy and Company, 1871. Hardcover. Printed as a fundraiser for the Lee Memorial Association of Richmond, this is a fragment of the Journal of a young lady of Virginia that was written a century prior to this printing. The author is unknown, but the original manuscript was found in a desk of a country home in Maryland. It was written for a friend of the author, Polly Brent, who was also from Virginia. The journal mentions several family members of General Robert E. Lee, making it appropriate for this particular fundraising effort. Bound in pebbled brown cloth boards with gilt title to front board. Thin octavo. Minor wear and rubbing to boards and edges. Dampstain to corners of all pages, minor foxing, and a few smudge marks ( to margins), else clean. 56 pages. STAHIS/070122. Very Good.
