http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122467808

Three volumes of a four-volume diary (labeled 1, 3, and 4) contain entries (1847-1849) reflecting daily family and social life on the Independence Plantation and provide some information concerning local events in and around Natchez, Mississippi and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Entries in another diary (1851) reflect Buhler's work in the office of Judge John Perkins and his life near Natchez (not at the Independence Plantation). The diary contains manuscript poems (1881-1914) by Mary Edith Buhler. An autograph book contains autographs (1844-1845) of Buhler's classmates at Princeton University and handwritten copies of published poems (1877-1884). A notebook (1843-1857) contains poems by Buhler and notes from a science course at Princeton University.
