Anderson), and friends (including Ellen Mordecai, a teacher at the nondenominational Warrenton Female Academy, founded by her father Jacob Mordecai in 1809); a note of a stanza written in the hand of Francis Scott Key as an addition to a poem by Robert Burns (note laid in before poem, f. 8r); and pinned newspaper clippings of poetry. The book is signed Elizabeth W. Anderson, 1827 (f. 2r), and the entries written in Warrenton in 1827 anticipate her departure for Tennessee (f. 3v-15r); Elizabeth Anderson's copy of a poem written by her husband for their twentieth anniversary (f. 23r) can be no later than 1847; the newspaper clippings in the second half of the volume refer to Memphis, New Orleans, and Galveston, with the latest dated clipping being from 1868 (f. 41r).
