Diaries and Journals, 1875-1896

Leonard was an inveterate diarist as evidenced in over thirty journals and diaries. The entries are detailed, reporting on weather, work completed, meals, and recreation. Symbols are often used to represent words in his abbreviated style, such as "\" to represent "the." A chronology written on index cards provides an exhaustive summary of where he was each year, including visits and trips. The material is arranged chronologically.
