Scope and content
This diary was kept while Xavier was teaching at Ladies Lutheran Seminary. It mentions that Xavier only works 22 hours a week, information about the health of his students, his visit home during the summer, his reading list including “Tarry Thou Til I Come,” and that although smallpox was reported in Iowa, none of his family members were affected. Bills, accounts, and address appear at the back of the diary.
