[QUOTE="bluumz, post: 2111151, member: 649"]I just want to share/show off these lovely little ladies diaries that I purchased a few months ago. (Last name Harvey or Harney?) Mary Jane's “Repository“ is written in but Helen's “Tablet of Memory“ is not, other than the dedication (and is therefore in better condition.) More photos in second post.
