Description
Physician's Waste Book Ledger. April 1843 – February 1847.
Kept by Dr. Greenberry R. Sappington, of Libertytown, Maryland. Small folio, quarter leather, block-printed boards, containing the rough daily entries of dates, charges, and a summary of treatments for patients that received medical care at his professional practice. Also includes various pasted and loose newspaper clippings, drawings, printed images, and detached notes. Suspected but not confirmed to have last been in possession by Greenberry Ridgley Sappington's wife, Sarah Elizabeth Peare.
Purchased in an auction along with other items including Dr. Greenberry Sappington’s diploma and a class notebook.
Page numbers applied by the creator are inconsistent, as some page numbers are repeated and others are skipped. (Examples: there are two pages labeled as 28 but no page 29; no page labeled as 37 but there are two pages labeled as 38; two pages are labeled as 104, but there is no page labeled as 105.) Page numbers in pencil (in the last approximate third of the volume) were presumably applied by a prior archivist.
Many pages, especially towards the back of the volume, have been ripped out, cut, or otherwise physically altered.
