Background

Scope and content:

Diaries, 1866-1867 and 1869, New Hampshire and Virginia of mother and daughter (Fannie Fuller?). The family lived near Laconia, N.H. and the mother spent part of 1866 in Virginia. Both women were textile workers and there is mentioning of work in a mill and working on socks in the house as well. The daughter's husband (Thomas Fuller?) seems to have worked in the textile mill, an iron mill and also raised livestock. Both diaries contain cash accounts which show expenses for food and textile supplies and money earned. The entries are brief and mention weather, work, chores, church and health, and comment on the mother's stay in Virginia.
