All day long I have been thinking of you, John. My thoughts have hardly been of anything else even in the rush of "the first of the month" work at the bank. One accomplishment man has never reached is a language that can express all or any of his thoughts. The language of the heart cannot be uttered. Your voice sounded so bright and happy tonight.

So far I have not felt any ill effects of our walk, hike, stroll, or whatever we may have taken yesterday unless it be a little stiffness of my muscles. One hour more last night and you would have been with me one whole day. To be with you all day every day. I could never tire of you! When you passed my window today you seemed whole, hale, and hearty enough!

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
