“this was my mother’s little book”

For #TheWritingHandKnows challenge, we are sharing this little book that was used as a notebook in the 19th century. The notebook contains entries dated from 1866 to 1884, many of which list the death date and relationship of deceased relatives. The inscription featured in this post reads “this was my mother’s little book” alongside a drawing with another inscription stating “my mother drew this picture”. Is it possible these inscriptions were added to the notebook after the original owner, the inscriber’s mother, passed away? Only #TheWritingHandKnows
