Charles J. Hennessy, born 1877, kept two diaries intermittently from 1896 until 1907. The entries are at random intervals, and of varying length. Altogether they do not provide a very complete picture of that span of years. In addition, there is a notebook of somewhat prosaic clippings, mostly from newspapers, from the early 20th c. with a few as late as the 1930s. Hennessy died in Washington in 1942.
