- Scope and Content:
- Contains graphite sketches done mostly during family visits to Balder Grange, the home of Emma’s aunt and uncle, and other local places. The sketches are labeled in what seems an adult’s hand, in purple pencil. They are not fully finished, in most cases. In addition to the sketches, there are a couple of poems written in pen and black ink in a mature hand. The verse is about moral topics, but includes a rather odd poetic dialog between a sailor and a landlord, contrasting the lures of alcohol and money.
