The volume was originally used as a diary, 1856-1857, by Edward R. Welles prior to his becoming rector of Christ Church in 1858 (he left the church in 1874 when he was elected to the episcopate of Wisconsin). The diary entries (30 pages) were made while Welles was pursuing theological studies at Hobart College, Geneva, N.Y. Included are a description of a trip up the Mississippi River from New Orleans to St. Louis, thence to Geneva by way of Detroit and Buffalo; Welles' daily schedule of studies; a description of a lecture series sponsored by the Young Men's Association of Waterloo, N.Y., Welles' home; and answers to a series of questions from the divinity examination (1835) of Dublin University, written as a review exercise.
The remainder of the volume contains an alphabetical list of contributors to the church (1873-1874), and lists of communicants (with attendance records?) (1886-1890).
