The entries refer to the daily household tasks of Adelaide Crossman and the farm chores of her husband.

His wife sewed clothing for profit. She referred to visits, the birth of her first child, and her husband's capture and eventual death in 1864. The volume for 1867 reveals details of a somewhat more prosperous life for Adelaide Burr and her new husband. The onerous household chores and farm work continue but there are references to attending dances, parties, concerts, and sewing circle meetings.
