I've managed to make myself miserable over it. I'm so nervous that the old pumper is going over a mile a minute. I love him, I'll always love him. No two people can be as close as we have been for nearly five years without having love for each other. It is romance I want! I wish I could be as cold and practical about it as John is, believing that any two congenial people can marry and be reasonably happy together.
Mary had a very nice party which I enjoyed. I've told her that I'll probably never marry John - and she seemed very much surprised and rather sorry.

ContextThis is the journal of Virginia Lee Scott, my grandmother, written when she was seventeen and first dating my grandfather, John Arnold Wilson. It's a dairy published by Media Drug Stores and includes space for two entries per day, with facts about the era printed at the bottom, which I have included in italics. Following, 1928, is the journal of John Arnold Wilson, my grandfather, at age nineteen and in love with my grandmother, followed by my grandmother's journal in 1931. Archives
