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."
