The notebook primarily contains sporadic entries from 1899-07-14 to 1899-10-09, chronicling Howland's travels through Europe and voyage back to the United States. Remarking on the maintenance costs of a historic cathedral in England, Howland says "If that money and what is wasted on militarism could be wisely applied for the education of the people what a world this would quickly become. The world that has the power does not want those of fewer opportunities to have them." When discussing other passengers on the voyage, Howland expresses disapproval of a racist woman from South Carolina, saying "She and my friend Miss Purois [sp] have had some passages on the race question. She is not worth her ammunition. I think that the woman's talking shows that the Southern people feel that they must be always on the defence because they know that they are in the wrong."
