These entries are followed by a few humorous accounts of past experiences. There are also copies of letters sent by Dunbar, 1771-1773, to a variety of people concerning a variety of subjects. Among these entries are letters to his father and to the First Church of Salem. The back half of the volume contains drafts of public prayers suitable for marriages, baptisms, and funerals. The book concludes with a list of Dunbar's children and a humorous poem (1778). Separate from the diary but included in the slip case is a sermon written in Salem by Dunbar.
