The first 3/4 of book are filled with practice copying of flourishing, decoratie penmanship. The only dates are apparently copied dates 1815 & 1816. However, at the end of the book there is a genuine letter written with no thought to handwriting style, never sernt, or a first draft. This is undated; but between the early and skillful practice, and thes later use of the book, there are sections that look as if some one were making a draft of a brief legal document, and one of these is dated 1821.
