Container Summary
Pages 417-419 contain the final journal entry made by JPB. At this point it appears he had left Paris and traveled to Vienna. It can be assumed that after he left Vienna, he traveled to London as an address for a boarding house in London is written down, as well as the domicile of a person named Heiss Taylor. James Percy Brown's signature once again appears at the top of page 417.
