The majority of the entries are letters personally addressed to Bonn in response to a request for an autograph and dated between April 1877 and 1878. These letters show that Bonn lived in Frankfurt at the time. Items dated earlier and addressed to others or not addressed at all were probably purchased on the market. The earliest item is the Senckenberg letter, dated \"Würzburg 1800.\" A single entry, the latest (dated 12\/5\/1887), by Dettweiler, is written directly into the album. It reveals that by then, Bonn was a patient in Dettweiler's sanatorium in Königstein, not far from Frankfurt, which suggests that Bonn was ill with tuberculosis.
