Alta Bates Diary Dated 1898 Exclusive, never before read by anyone
Alta Bates was my great grandmother and I am ready to part with her diary . My mother and myself are the only people that have ever read it. It was written in 1898 when Alta Bates was 19 years old. In this diary she writes about her dreams and goals of someday building a sanitarium and she names some of the people that help bring her dream a reality. This is a once in a life time opportunity to buy a big piece of Berkeley history. It is 62 pages long. in great condition. Needs to new binding, but every page is exactly how she left it in 1898. She begin the diary with a brief history of her life up till then, and a poem to her father. I would like to see this diary displayed for all to see and read. I have some hardships to meet or I would donate it for this purpose. I'm asking a fair price. I haven't had it appraised or authenticated. If I had it done the price would be much higher. I am only asking 25,000.00.I guarantee 100% that this diary is Exclusive and authentic and if you find anyone that claims its not I will return every penny to you with your proof that it is not. email me at AltaAliceMinorBates@aol.com
