Kelly, Rev. Laurence J., SJ: Appointment books & diaries., 01/01/1940-08/02/1955
Series-level Scope and Content Note
Two boxes, each filled with small bound 'diaries' or appointments books, covering the years 1906-1955. The earlier ones are small, but from 1924 on Kelly used a consistent type that allowed him to record mundane details--but not thoughts usually--for each day.
