http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/207124298

Two of the octavo volumes are pocket diaries for 1862 and 1869. Though there are notations regarding daily activities, most of the information relates to business. They list expenses, both personal and business, the cost of coal, 1860-1862, and insurance policies. There are also notes on employees and business appointments. The third octavo volume is a Time Book, 1868-1878, listing various employees and the days and hours they worked. Rarely is the salary listed. One oversize folder and ten folio account books contain business transactions for 1875-1906. These include records of orders and charges for jobs provided by Hamilton for many local businesses, churches, schools, and organizations. Also noted are expenses incurred by Hamilton for labor and materials. Included in these items are miscellaneous advertisements for printing supplies, examples of Hamilton's printing work, and scrap papers used for financial figuring.
