Calfskin, gilded edges 4.5" x 2.5". Most of this book is filled w/ numbers of sacks of potatoes and the names of the farmers. Some of it has quantities of wood to build a house, while others look like shopping lists and some strange stuff about courts and district attorneys. I wish i was better at reading people's handwriting. There seems to be some interesting inscriptions in this.

In comment #2 what I thought was an H I think should be St, so I think the name should be Stringer. There was a E.C. Stringer as a United States Attorney in the District Of Minnesota from 1894-1898.
