I am going to bed now. God bless you, John. I will not go Wednesday. I hope you have spared at least one tiny moment to think of me.

A repetition of last Saturday! This time it is a "sick friend." The world is full of sick friends and business. I am trying to sew the (?) on my dress. I cannot do it for thinking of you. I have dressed myself to look my best! Why? Perhaps I think I am spiting you. Am I jealous, angry, or just disappointed? I am letting you have me too easily. Wednesday evening I think I will go to the country.

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
