I've just made available a scan of a typed copy of the seventy-four page, Pine Bluff Cottage register booklet, typed at the hand of Ned Parker himself. The register covers a period of 1893 -1930! Included are photos and comments that may not have been in the original record, but add much for anyone reading now.
The register contains weather notations, musings on local happenings, details of visits from locals and people from afar, building updates and repairs, remembrances of celebrations, and accounts of day to day tasks and meals. It reads as a who is who of the Farmington, NH community during the four decades it covers.
