Ea. “La California” - 1899 Day-Book | Page last modified: |
This is the eleventh diary that has survived the years. Of a different type than the other diaries, it proved difficult to enhance the faded ink resulting in odd color differences between pages; the true color is most similar to the opening print pages, aged to a light tan.
1899 is an interesting year, for it is when John moved to “Los Algarrobos” and William took over at “La California”. Per their handwriting, William and John were both at “La California” in January. William went to Entre Rios, probably on business for the last time, on May 17 and returned June 4. Pianos were replaced in the upstairs bedroom suite at “La California” on June 29; John’s piano and luggage were sent to the Larguia train station on July 1.
Mother (Josephine Kolmer-Benitz) arrived back on August 7 from her trip to England and the US, accompanied by John, William & Clara and their family. Presumably William and John had gone to B.A. to meet their ship.
Most of the entries were written by the mayordomos (deduced by correlating changes in handwriting with the presence or absence of the person on the estancia): Mr. C. Gillyatt (until Jan.3, next page is torn out), Mr. Ogilvy (early January through April, sporadically after), and Mr. Johansen (May through end of year). John’s (JEBz) last entries are May 17 and August 13 (visiting?) though his notes continue to appear on the interleaved blotter pages. William’s (WOBz) handwriting first appears on January 12 when he added livestock movements to the entry. Mr. Johansen uses many more Spanish terms and phrases, particularly for livestock; in the monthly tallies of “Animals Died”: Deaths becomes Mortandad, Killed (butchered) becomes Consumo, and in the August tally the terms Lanares, Vacunos, Caballar & Yeguarizos first appear (and “calves” is often spelt “calfs”).
Background: The background image is John Schreiber’s lithograph of “La California”, which he drew in 1878.
Reference Pages: To aid the reader with Spanglish terminology, unfamiliar names (in particualr the names/numbers of the “La California” fields), and old measures and currencies, we have provided a set of: Reference Pages. We recommend you have these available — they will open in a second window or tab.

Transcription:
Go to Month: Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec
Excluding format, the day-book has been transcribed as written, verbatim, without correction. All obvious spelling and grammatical errors have been retained unchanged – we gave the benefit of the doubt to sloppy handwriting. Anything we added or corrected is enclosed within [square brackets, with our comments in italics.] For words we could not decipher, we provide our best guess followed by: [#?]. (Transcribed by: Peter Benitz.)
Format:
1. The day-book pages are titled with the month and year and have space in which to record 2 days per page, Monday through Saturday. For the web, we inserted a title bar to separate the months, and reformatted the day titles, e.g. “2 Monday” becomes “January 2, Monday”. Note: Sunday’s actvivities were recorded per the whims of the author, either appended appropiately titled below Saturday or inserted into Monday and subtitled “Yesterday”.
2. Newspaper clippings, notes, business cards, and any other items found inserted in the diary we placed where most relevant. Items for which we could not determine dates, we placed where we found them.
3. Notes on the interleaved blotter pages we placed following the date to which they apply. We included as notes blotted ink stains we could decipher.
4. The daily weather conditions were often written each side the printed date: morning left — afternoon right. We standardised their format, placing them on their own line below the date.
5. Standard daily subtitles placed in the left margin (e.g. Killed, Died, Yesterday) we changed to hanging (out-dented) paragraphs with their text.
