Scrapbook, ca. 1893

This is a small scrapbook consisting of mostly personal notes and programs for various plays and events, and is rather sparse. It contains copies of exams and a card from the Committee of the American Women’s Scholarship for Japanese women and a few personal joke letters/items. The scrapbook is fragile but in overall good condition. There is a great deal more information on Susan Walker Fitzgerald in her papers, held by BMC Special Collections.
