Journal #1 Dear diary/journal my mother died today. She has succumb to consumption (tuberculosis). It is a disease that causes you to basically drown in your own blood. It has no cure and is easy to spread.

Journal #2 Dear diary/journal I started school today. My teacher taught us how to write the letter Q. We played kickball on the sandlot. I got a cookie for writing the best Q in the whole class.

Journal #3 Dear diary/journal today I decided to take a swim. I swam six or seven miles up the James River. I swam against the current, which i found to be very difficult. All of the town's people gave me a lot of attention for this.

Journal #4 I am severely sad from the death of my wife. I am going to the town to ttry and forget my problems...
