Transcribed by J. Carol Nicholson - [email protected]
Entries, made from 1885 to about 1890, in autograph book owned by Fannie A. Peardon Crossthwaite 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 area with some from the Boston area. If anyone would like a copy of a particular entry, I would be happy to provide it.
