"I keep daily journal, and have three
or four, but there is one that is not in my
possession would like very much to
have"
"Is it your idea we have it9"
Little Elizabeth Harter came to my
home frequently. Her delight was to get
my journal or my diary and get a pencil,
and she would say, Grandma, may I
write in your diary9' and would answer,
Yes, darling, but don't write where
grandma writes oh, no. won't do
that: that isn't where 1 want to write,
but in the back of 1t, where there is no
writing at all. She had reference to the
part of it beyond the dated leaves, and
one of my diares she has. She asked me
one day if she could take it home with
her, and I said, Yes, if you promise to
bring it back to me when you come down
to see me the next time and she said,
All right, If don't forget It,. Well, it
seems she has forgotten it, and it has
been forgotten, and don't know, and l
suppose it has been kept but have not
had it since"
