INTRODUCTION

Briefly - and this will soon be expanded - this is the diary of Ada May (Grimshaw) Illingworth.

Written on the flyleaf of this black leather 5 year diary:

                                                                                     every day

"I hope I shall be able to write in this little book  ^              for five whole years."

Jan. 1 -1915
