The diary for 1877 has some financial calculations, annotated 'all wrong'; a record which suggests A.L. wished to engage in amateur dramatics although her father not keen; eventually 'played a witch in MacBeth. very jolly'; some romance - 'Arthur and I call each other by our f[irst] names'; mentions 'mamma begins at Gaiety Theatre' in October; possible indication of menstrual periods. Personal account book ? of Agnes for 1919-21. Has the name 'J.Mahony' on the front. |
