http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/660737445

Cash book records his account with Baring Brothers & Co., 1867-1870, and other personal accounts. Journal (1868-1870), mainly kept on a visit to England, contains a list of family members and their birthdays, notice of letters received and answered (particularly correspondence with his partner, Charles Brigham), and notes on architectural commissions, particularly "Pinebank," a house designed for Edward Newton ("Ned") Perkins in Jamaica Plain, Boston. On a visit to London, Sturgis visits trustees of the South Kensington Museum and articulates a plan for a "small loan collection" for Boston [that would eventually lead to the establishment of the Museum of Fine Arts within the Boston Athenaeum]. Volume includes a tabulation of the game bagged during a 3-day hunting party at Norman Court, listing of packages sent from London, a "list of tracings" of architectural details, and a list of drawings of Pinebank.
