Four pocket notebooks, three bound in leather and one in paper, chiefly recording day-to-day purchases and expenditures for business conducted by Barnes in Boston and Calif., particularly purchases pertaining to gold mining and his financial investments in copper, silver, and gold mining stocks. Also includes entries for household expenditures. Entries are sporadic, and occasionally consist of personal or religious reflections. Includes two newspaper clippings that had been in the notebooks, concerning a lost snuffbox of Barnes, and a classified advertisement for the sale of three fruit ranches. Includes a blank mining assessment receipt for the Los Angeles Consolidated Copper, Gold and Silver Mining Company, dated 1863, with a pencil drawing of a street map on the reverse.
