Annie H. Bosworth diary, 1877 November 8-1877 December 31.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/428831363

Bosworth kept this diary while employed, possible as a dressmaker, in San Francisco in the autumn and winter of 1877. Notes written on Greenebaum & Co. Auctioneers & Commission Merchants stationery suggest her connection with that firm. She describes her social activities: attending the theatre, opera, musical concerts and church services; dining in her boarding house, and in restaurants; excursions to various neighborhoods, including the Mission district, Lone Mountain, Point Lobos, and to the ship Agenor, at Mission Bay; riding on the cable car; shopping downtown; visiting the Mint; witnessing a large anti-Chinese demonstration. Included are diagrams of her lodgings at the Palace Hotel, and at 317 Powell Street, on Union Square, and at 834 Sutter Street; lists of acquaintances (several with Jewish names) and their addresses, and places visited during her residence here; and a letter, 26 April 1886, from Annie E. Walton, San Francisco.
