- catalog abstract "Diaries were kept in books called The Lady's Almanac, which contained, besides space for personal entries, printed poems and essays on female etiquette. Cumings kept a diary every year, 1866-1880, but her entries were infrequent and brief. She noted her children's growth, illnesses, music lessons, and first days of school, recorded callers, and described travels in New England and New York. Included are accounts of medical care for scarlet fever, and recipes for silver polish, rice, and bread. The printed sections of the 1876 Almanac contain histories of the American Revolution, and the evolution of women's status in the 100 years since. The topic for the 1879 Almanac is "Society" and for 1880, "Brides and Weddings."".
