Ed spend two hours with me today. In spite of the unwanted kiss and your disappointment, I feel very happy. Only you could make me happier - to have you right here with me and to know that you would not have to leave. I have wonderful friends, wonderful family, wonderful mother - wonderful sweetheart, lovely gifts - my bracelet, an old and valued cameo. Oh to be eighteen forever!!!!!!!!!!
My eighteenth birthday. It began last evening with John. How happy I am. Everyone has been so lovely, so kind and attentive to me today. Most of you guessed wrong. I am not yet twenty! Bill, why did you do it? Oh, John, I broke my promise - not because I wanted to but because I could not help it. It was your fault Peb (?) for betting Bill that he could not get a kiss. You were disappointed, John, because I did not call. But you called me. The first and last voice I heard on my birthday (except my family's). The first, last, and only one I live for. John's.

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
