Original 1836-1837 mercantile account ledger often covered over with pictures and newspaper accounts of poetry, news, and travel from the 1881-1889 era. Because of the 1865 practice letter with notations and the clipping from the Detroit 1889 National Editorial Association conference [with the name of Virginia misspelled as Virgea], this second layer was probably kept by Mary or Susannah Clay as young ladies with their management of the Huntsville Democrat.
