Rosa Boyer, likely a student from Pennsylvania, kept this notebook between 1881 and 1887, in which she copied rhyming maxims and poems, wrote names of friends, produced various lists, and drew a number of pencil sketches. Boyer drew people, animals, buildings, furniture and household goods, geometric designs, and one small map of South America.
Boyer also recorded the death of James A. Garfield. Several pages may have been used in relation to her education, such notes on the Pennsylvania congressmen and governor, sentence diagrams, a record of the numbers of days attended and missed from school, and a testimonial about her teacher Samuel S. Diehl.
