Record book kept by William D. Pierce includes Pierce's "Herd Book," containing pedigree and breeding records of his short horn cattle, along with various auction notices. On one of five cattle auction circulars pasted in the book is written a letter from George Renick in reply to Pierce's inquiry about the pedigree of a particular bull. Copy letters, 1835-1862, pertain primarily to sales of wool and Pennock & Pierce's revolving hay and grain horse-rake and include three letters to pioneer George Flower in Illinois. Loose documents kept with the volume include six sheets of breeding records, three engravings of a cow and a bull, a letter of 1845 from Rachel P. Lambern in Kennett Square, Pa., a tax notice for 1863, and a poem honoring Esther Roberts in 1874 on her 82nd birthday.
