I would be very happy, if someone could give me the correct text. I would love to read the book, but you cannot get it in Denmark, and I cannot wait weeks, as I am going to deliver the manuscript.

Unfortunately, it's quite hard to keep up to date, so sometimes the links become redundant. Please do let me know if you find any bad ones. Also, I regularly publish articles on diaries/diarists in The Diary Review, and always aim to direct readers to freely available texts online, and to include actual diary texts. Regards.

What better way to write in the times and have all the correct information right there. No way can anyone tell you something wasn't/didn't/couldn't if you have it in personal words. Just like OMG was first seen in a 1917 letter to Winston Churchill, and not invented by a 1980's teen, what a wealth of just...stuff that would all be era rich with details.nightsmusichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05984119792540771870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-89644927893435285312013-02-03T17:29:20.988-05:002013-02-03T17:29:20.988-05:00This is fascinating.

It's even divided into sections: snacks, lunch, dinner, desserts and party food. <br /><br />This piece of history once belonged to a woman who made her own amazing cookbook. And now it's one of my treasures.<br /><br />I love your sorority notebooks! What a great find. terleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13953328625206810683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-38109156265285578962013-02-03T12:49:44.569-05:002013-02-03T12:49:44.569-05:00I was going to ask where you find such a treasure,...I was going to ask where you find such a treasure, but you've given some good leads. I would absolutely love to peruse this kind of journal or record. Getting a first-hand look into the past is fascinating, and you are right - what a goldmine for a writer as far as inspiration and historical accuracy. Now I have a reason to go into all of those antique stores filled with furniture that is too pricey for me!Lynn Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13444488890483608914noreply@blogger.com
