Diaries of Andrew Mills, Jr., containing notations, drafts of speeches and essays, newspaper clippings, printed ephemera, and letters, all of which document and reflect the problems and changes in banking during the depression and war periods.

The typescript is the only surviving evidence of a fictitious journal called The Diary of Mary, a Little Farmer's Wife, written by Walter V. Davidson, an important client of the architect Frank Lloyd Wright. It is part of a larger collaboration with Wright in which Davidson proposed a nation-wide network of small farms and marketplaces as a solution to the environmental and economic crises of the Great Depression. Typescript in a binder titled "Little Farms and Davidson Markets Prospectus and Manual."
