Diary

Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

This diary is apparently the only survivor of a long series that James Hadley kept, since the last entry notes that it continues in “vol. H.” Hadley made regular entries on a variety of topics: politics; the births, marriages, illnesses, and deaths of neighbors and family; and especially changes in Quakerism. He often comments on who was present in meeting for worship and what was said. He clearly was hostile to the introduction of revival techniques into his meeting, yet showed little inclination to oppose them publicly. Hadley traveled often, and notes his observations on the country he sees and the people he meets. Included with the Hadley diary is a partial transcription and index prepared by William Fuson in 2000.
