{"value"=>"<p>Scrapbook—This scrapbook, now disbound, consists of 77 leaves (not all of which have been used) and several unmounted items laid in. Smith apparently began to compile it ca.1885 and continued to add material until 1893. Its contents consist primarily of mounted clippings of poems, stories, and articles written by Smith during the last 10 years of her life. Smith has dated or added the source of some clippings in manuscript. Also included are some manuscript poems; a few diary entries for 1889, 1890, and 1893; and clippings concerning Smith's relatives in North Carolina. The scrapbook originally was a ledger containing 23 leaves of accounts, December 1853 - May 1854, for shipments of coffee and logwood sent from Haiti by S[idney] Oaksmith to A[ppleton?] Oaksmith in New York. Sidney and Appleton Oaksmith were two of Smith's sons.</p>"}
