The diary is a record of monies handled by Mr G.H. Shepherd after he moved to Lawrence Terrace. I have no record of his designation but the letters are to the municipal board officials and to residents and some who had shifted. Since LT only accommodated 19 families his jurisdiction, it would appear, extended to the main road opposite LT known then as Outram Road (later renamed Ashok Marg).
The diary also holds copies of letters written to the district magistrate and Hashman & Sons, Auctioneers.
There are approx two entries that place him in house No. 4 from where he moved to the largest accommodation No 13 LT where he lived till he passed away in 1928. The Shepherd family also stayed at No 17 LT where my father Ivan Douglas Shepherd was born in 1918.
The family retained this accommodation till the new blocks of flats (A & B Blocks) were completed in April 1959. The pic here of a diary entry is a letter to Mr W.F.Hilton, 13 Outram Road. Dated 30th March, 1923 the letter is to remind Mr Hilton that he had to pay Rs 100 for January and February - Rs 50 per month.
