Geography copybook (32 pages) kept by Hall containing descriptions of southern states and territories including Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia; "Spanish Dominions" (Florida); and "Unknown Regions" (Mexico). Some descriptions are accompanied by colored drawings of flowers. Includes descriptions and drawings of the Ptolemaic, Tychonic, and Copernican systems of the universe; a drawing of the earth showing the equator, the poles, and the frigid, torrid, and temperate zones; and a sketch of a boating scene. A later penciled note on the inside cover states erroneously that Hall was the mother of Supreme Court Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase.
