Title Summary
Diary of a young girl in Philadelphia, Pa., commenting on the weather, family matters, and excursions to nearby places. Miss Eve, the fiancee of Dr. Benjamin Rush, was a woman of social and intellectual attainments. She was the daughter of prosperous ship captain and merchant Oswell Eve. She died Dec. 4, 1774, three weeks before the date set for her marriage. The diary includes references to Dr. rush and his family and to numerous other persons prominent in Philadelphia. Information about Miss Eve is available in biographies of Dr. Rush, and copies of some material have been filed with the diary. Diary extracts were published in the Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, Vo. V (1881). It is apparent from the manuscript that the diary was more extensive than what has survived here. Two additional pages contain an article entitled "A Female Character" that was also published.
