General
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.
