March 2nd, Wednesday.
Today I am sixteen. Went to school
this morning. This evening I got a
present from Aunitie. Went around to
pauls again this evening and then walked
home with Sadie and Rachel. When this
day is finished I expect to put my diary
away and to let no on see it but myself
so I acknowledge that I have a queer
feeling about a certain girl and that
certain girl is Sadie Warden. I have
tried to be neutral but old cupid has
come out [vistor?] and behold I am
[conquered?] and by a girl at that. Walter
is my best friend, Tom [Werney?] and
myself have drifted apart and it
is for good for we can never be the friends
we once were. Rachel and brother were
reunited to each other today and
