Oct. 23 - Nov. 22 (cont.) - See pathetic side of life. No desire to travel or encounter adventure. Not good bosses but very original in own work. Especially fond of poetry and often write it. Resolute and unflinching. Form strong attachments.
Today you left for two long weeks alone at B. and every evening you will be on the beach thinking of me? And I of you! And I took a long ride with Alice, Bill Jones, and Bob Waltimate! It was all I could do to be sociable. I have been dreaming of you all day! "I understand that I am just a substitute." I'm glad that you understand Bob but there could never be a substitute!

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
