Description
The following is a transcription of Martha Baldwin's diary, 1859-1860. Question marks inclosed in parentheses represent words in the original diary that were illegible. Elipses are used to indicate larger portions of the text found to be illegible.

The holydays have come and passed and now naught but Birmingham and (?) people are around me or like to be for the next six months. It will be more lonely than before. Now I must to my studies hard as I can. At Lyceum to night. Jan 3rd Mr. Hill in a hurry. Studying all day and sewing this evening. Jan 4th Recited. That Preface is awful. To night I called for Em and Mary to go down to the district school house to attend a grammar school. We have been invited to join. I think if we keep it up it will be beneficial.
