This collection includes a notebook of James Lawrence Dusenbery consisting of irregular diary entries, 1841-1842, made during his senior year at the University of North Carolina, and including poems, most of which seem to be by other authors, and apparent transcriptions of letters to Dusenbery from The diary entries include exceptionally lengthly narratives about campus social events in Chapel Hill, N.C., and some describe social events in Lexington, N.C., Dusenbery's hometown.
