Small, blue velvet autograph book apparently owned by Teresa Price. The pages contain short verses and notes from her friends. J.M. apparently gave Teresa the book and signed it also. It had to be before they were married because all the autographs address her as Teresa Price. This page is from J. M. Putman and is dated March 20, 1889. There are other signed pages, specifically, from Ida Bogle, W. W. Price, Allie Price, Nasseril Patterson, Edna, Tecia Moore, Estelle, Ginerva Moore, Mary Moore, Joe Putman dated Aug 24, 1902 (?), W. T. Putman, Oct 20-4, to "Dear Cousin" from W. I. Patterson, some rhymes she had written herself dated 1889, and pages signed by Stella, Sibyl Carden, and Katherine Patterson dated 1921
