In her diary she describes social activities in India and at the Cape of Good Hope. 44 pages relate to the Cape, where she was married on 19 April 1836, and where she and her husband stayed for two periods from 22 April to the 22 September 1836 and again from 9 February 1839 to the 17 September 1840.

A transcript of the Diary was provided by Susan Saloom from Connecticut, USA in 2015. Sarah Anne LeMesurier was her 3rd Great Grand Aunt.
There are gaps in the transcript, as the handwriting proved challenging, particularly in relation to names and geographical places.
