BANKING TERMS – V: Certified Check – A check which the drawee’s bank has agreed to pay by placing thereon the words “Certified,” the date and signature of someone in authority. Clearing house – An association of banks formed for the purpose of collecting checks by exchanging those drawn upon each other.
What an insipid, shallow somebody I am. How sweet, how refined and how dignified I am with “outsiders,” – but with my family – I am nothing for I am without love. I quarrel and argue stubbornly – and then I am sorry but do I admit it to anyone beside myself and my God? If I do not admit my wrong to my family, have I really given in?Daddy says that John has changed me. But how? He could inspire me only to better myself. Would I want him to know me as I am. Oh, am I really acting when I’m with John? I do not know myself. Is the good or the bad my real self? Does Daddy really think that I have no love or respect for him? It is not true, it is not true. John, tonight is the first time that I have really felt that I could not possibly let you go. May the day come when you will not have to leave me!

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
