Clearly the dates do not match and Mr. von Platen started this diary in July, of what year I am uncertain. Reads: Pd. June- 1 Cash- 1000. June Fritz Cash- 249.45 July Cash- Widdicomb- 1200.00                                          ________                                           2449.45                                            1732.52                                             _______                                                716.93

The Diary July 1

The diary has his name gold embossed on the front cover. The inner cover has a 1921 calendar. Opposite opening page says "Compliments of Hart Mirror Plate Co. Mirrors Grand Rapids, Mich." A few pages are torn out. The first page then is: Friday January 7 July. 1 Frogs Legs- 3.00 July 6. Thirs.(?) Pearl 15.00 "        " Uelter Boas(?) 15.00 I'm hoping I'll be better able to understand his handwriting as I continue.
