a day long to be remembered
a vow I made and to keep
as long as the world stan-
-ds
I wonder what
it was Altha
(This is a mysterious entry. The first two lines are written in ink. The rest are in pencil. The last two lines are separated and the handwriting is different. Who is Altha? It is clearly Altha and not Althea, my grandfather's second wife.)

(the first paragraph of this entry was difficult to decipher. It was written in pencil and then overwritten with ink. The words did not overlap completely and the same words weren't necessarily on the same line. The last line is written upside down above the first line.)
I wrote a letter to a friend
to day that I never did
before and it was the
poorest one I ever wrote
to anyone in my life
I did not expect an answer
had a dres perade
to night and every
thing went of well
