Entries, made from 1884 to about 1920, in autograph book owned by Kate McLean Nicholson, Head of Montague, P.E.I.
The entries in this autograph book are typical verses of 4 to 6 lines; some are amusing, some are biblical quotations, some are witty. Much of the handwriting is quite lovely. Many of the individuals are from the Montague-Pownal area with some from the Boston area. If anyone would like a copy of a particular entry, I would be happy to provide it.
