Diaries, 1797-1798, 1819-1820, 1833-1834.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/58663747

Diaries kept by Dunlap for the periods May 20-July 26, 1797; July 27-Dec. 13, 1797; Dec. 14, 1797-June 1, 1798; Oct. 15, 1819-April 27, 1820; and June 26, 1833-Dec. 26, 1834. Dunlap's interests and activities touched almost every phase of the intellectual, cultural, and aesthetic life of the United States during that time. He notes daily activities, copies letters and legal agreements, enters accounts, drafts works of literature, and makes notes on theater history and design history for two books which were eventually published. Some volumes include pencil or ink sketches; there is also one watercolor.
