- Abstract:
- Marriage contract, manuscript, ink and pencil on paper, dated 25th of hodesh Rahamim [Elul?] 5647 at Vidin (1887). Two columns of text are bordered by two arches. The right column contains the terms of the marriage (kidushin) with the initial abbreviation in large block letters for the expression ""be-siman tov"". The left column, which contains the terms of the betrothal (erushin), begins with the inital word written in large block letters ""Eleh"" (these are). Both columns are signed by the same three people. Below the terms of the betrothal is a paragraph, beginning with the word ""lista"", written in large block letters, which consists of a list enumerating the dowry. The dowry list is followed by two signatures that are different from those above. The text is written in Sephardic script. The document is decorated with colorful floral stickers, which also function to separate the marriage document from the betrothal document. Above the text on either side are three wreath stickers that contain cyrilic letters in the centers. There is an outline of a six cornered star at the top of the document that contains abbreviations, presumably for blessings for the bride and groom.

- Abstract:
- Holograph journal of the author’s naval service from 1845 to 1861, with some verses dated 1867. The volume begins with a summary of his service on the HMS Seaflower, sailing between Jersey and northern France, as well as on the steam ship Sidon. He then describes his service on the HMS Orestes, with which he sails to Mozambique, Zanzibar, and Mauritius. He mentions the weather and routine ship duties, as well as shoots gazelles and hippopotami and chases various vessels, including a number of slave ships. On November 19, 1851, they begin to chase a brig, but gives up when it hoists American colors; in January 1852, they chase and take the Maryanne, a brig from Havana equipped for the slave trade, whose crew the writer describes as all seeming to be "hardened slavers." The manuscript also contains his subsequent appointments on the HMS Excellent and HMS Terrible, and further naval service in Cornwallis, Brunswick, and Cambridge; as well as extensive records of his activities on land, in which he describes primarily routine social events, such as visits to his aunt Sarah and other friends; subscribing to the library; dancing; and flute lessons.
