Dairy, 9 Dec. 1919-25 Nov. 1920.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/50959475

Diary (9 Dec. 1919-25 Nov. 1920), signed by hand in ink on recto of first leaf "Willmund Reaux Glaeser", held in top bound three-hole-punched loose-leaf ring binder memo book, with imitation brown leather covers, measuring about 14 x 9 cm. Filler paper (120 leaves) is narrow-ruled in blue, with most entries closely handwritten in ink, a very few in pencil, on both sides of the leaves, with only 21 leaves left completely blank. Some leaves preceding the diary entries are filled with names and addresses of friends and family, lists of traveler's cheques and numbers, as well as other miscelleanous lists. Unused index divider sheets labeled A-Z are included in a group at the back of the main body of diary entries. Diary rentries begin on leaves just after the group of index dividers, continue for only two leaves, then begin again starting from the other end of the diary. Typed transcript on 39 pp. of 8ư x 11 inch white bond paper is undated, untitled and the author is unknown. Entries are fairly evenly divided between Glaeser's service on the tramp steamer Sag Harbor, and on the New York based excursion ships, the S.S. Chester W. Chapin and S.S. Richard Peck.
