http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/752197084

Records of the Brookline Whist Club, a social club founded in 1874 by some residents of Brookline, Mass. The bulk of the volume consists of humorous poems by members of the club, including poems about individual members and guests and in honor of birthdays, as well as a series about the Storrows' trip to Europe. Members included Thacher Loring, Margaret Fuller (Channing) Loring, Robert S. Peabody, Annie P. (Putnam) Peabody, Moorfield Storey, Gertrude (Cutts) Storey, Charles Storrow, Martha Robinson (Cabot) Storrow, Charles P. Ware, Elizabeth Lawrence (Appleton) Ware, Moses Williams, and Martha Caroline (Fininley) Williams. The poems were possibly copied into the volume at a later date. Some but not all of the authors of individual poems are identified.
