Dear Diary,

The papers said today that Bob will be here on the nineteenth instead of the twenty-first as previously announced. I don’t guess it should make much difference to me when he’s going to be here, but just the same it does. All I hope is that he doesn’t sell bonds while he’s here. I know if he does I’ll want to buy one from him, and I just bought one last Saturday. On $2.75, including lunch money, a week, I just can’t afford to buy an $18.75 bond every two weeks. It just can’t be done. I feel smart buying two in thirteen months.
