I wondered how I would treat you when you came tonight to dinner. I always find it easiest to be myself. I cannot fake a mood, coolness, when my heart is aching for you. If that poem would separate us I pray God that I never see it. You are an idealist posing as a practical man. Idealism is what the world needs more of. Why are our feelings always so mutual even when we are apart. For several days I didn’t touch your ring to my lips and you took mine off – destroyed the letters and papers I had given you. Oh God, why? With each other we are unhappy. You destroyed your own poem, my papers and letters, you stopped wearing my ring – all because you love me. Why did you ask me if I love you? Were you in doubt, John? May he always come back to 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
