http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/79371009

A small pocket diary for 1864 with very brief entries, including rather laconic mentions of the demonstration on the Rapidan (February 6-7, 1864), battles of the Wilderness (May 6-7), Laurel Hill (May 8), Spottsylvania (May 8-12), Jericho Ford (May 25), Totopotomoy (May 28-31) and Cold Harbor (June 1-12). The diary fills about half of the Pocket Diary for 1864 (New York: Willy Wallach); the entries from June 19 on are blank.

1 pocket diary, 9 cm., also, a printed broadside and a blank ledger.
