Accounts of Betty Constance Points née Steward
These papers consist mainly of account books which also served as appointment diaries. In 1986 two diaries seem to have been kept, one for accounts and the other for appointments. The latter have not been selected for permanent preservation. The accounts give a very detailed and interesting insight into twentieth century living.
