Abstract

This journal was written by Lavinia Murray of New York City for her parents and was a retrospect of the year 1833. Murray, who was a student at Van Doren's Institute, mentioned seeing President Andrew Jackson, Black Hawk and his sons, visiting the House of Refuge, and a student's death from small pox. The journal concludes with resolutions for 1834 that include "Not to cry," "to be neat," and "govern my temper." It has been transcribed and digitized.
