Diary kept by Charlotte Pettibone of Hartford, Connecticut. She began the diary the day she completed her studies at Hartford Female Seminary, April 20, 1841.

While traveling in April 1842, Pettibone recorded that she was eating breakfast with Henry Clay who had just finished a term as Senator from Kentucky. In Hartford, Pettibone often heard Rev. Horace Bushnell preach. She noted many of the visits she made to friends in the city.
