The majority of these volumes is devoted to documenting butter made and sold from 1861 to 1881. Entries are brief and simply list dates and quantities. Also noted is income and expenses from 1862 to 1871. Items mentioned include eggs, farm produce, beef, paint, oil, flowers, and livestock. In 1871, the Greeley's bought shingles and paid for labor on their barn. Beginning in 1874, brief diary entries noting the weather, daily farm activities, and the comings and goings of family members, particularly "Uncle Moses," are featured. The back of the second volume contains notes and letters pertaining to furniture trade. Finally, a letter to Mrs. Greeley requesting a 30 lb. firkin of butter is laid in.
