http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/145416426

This informal journal documents Governor Lazarus W. Powell's daily actions, the record of which were later transferred to the more detailed and formal executive journal. Included are notes about appointments and commissions of civil officials and militia officers; pardons and remissions of fines; and approved expenditures. This volume contains entries dated from September 1851 to March 1854; a note inside the front cover cautions that this is not a complete record, and advises the reader that all of the Governor's official actions were noted in the executive journal.
