Burgess, is in the form of a story for children as a memoir of her own girlhood days at her grandparents’ farm. It was given to her niece, Frances Burgess O’Keeffe, and is so inscribed by the author. It may have been written in the 1920’s and covers a time presumably in the 1880’s. She was 12 years old by 1890. During the 1880’s her grandparents would be in their seventies. Totaling 33 pages, it has 11 water color illustrations, 5-1/2” × 7” in size, each on a page of its own. It is hand printed in black ink in script writing. The author has made the plain cover and has hand sewn and bound the pages. They measure 12” × 9-1/2”.
