Memoranda

SOURCE NOTE

Vol. 26, 5 Apr.–24 May 1876; 27 Jan. 1899–1 Apr. 1900

Emmeline B. Wells, Diary, vol. 26, 5 Apr.–24 May 1876; 27 Jan. 1899‒1 Apr. 1900, L. Tom Perry Special Collections, Harold B. Lee Library, Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah (Vault MSS 510).

Pocket-size diary measuring 4¾ × 3 × ½ inches. This Standard brand diary has a burgundy leather cover and gilt-edged pages. The word “Diary” is embossed in gold on the front cover. The diary has preprinted dates for 1876, with two entries per page. It includes preprinted reference material in the front and formatted pages in the back for addresses, memoranda, and financial records. Inside the diary’s back cover is an oval sticker that reads “James Dwyer Dealer In Books And Stationery, Albums, Pocket Books, Fancy Goods, Toys, Etc. Salt Lake City, Utah.”

EBW inscribed five brief entries in this diary in April and May 1876. It appears from the content of these entries that she kept this diary in her office; meanwhile, she evidently kept her main diary for 1876 (MSS 805, volume 1) at her home.

In 1899, EBW began using the diary again. She made lists of letters sent and received for the period January to April 1899 and August 1899 to March 1900. She also recorded information about financial transactions from September to November 1899 and January to April 1900. Because the diary was originally printed with dates for the year 1876, EBW often canceled “1876” and wrote “1899” or “1900” instead. If she wrote in the current year but forgot to cancel “1876,” the editors have silently omitted “1876.”

For the presentation on this website, sections are broken out from the original diary and placed where they belong chronologically.
