Someone's Diary
April 3rd, 1912
April 18th is Florence and I's anniversary. Florence was urging for a trip in Europe, but I couldn't really afford it, you know. But she's my wife, my love. So I had to do something nice for her. Luckily, I had saved up enough money from work, and I was able to purchase some tickets on this large fancy ship. They call her the Titanic. It's going to be leaving for New York City, the Big Apple, on the tenth. We're going to spend two weeks there. Real excited! The thing I'm most excited to do is eat some chocolate cake with my love and just take in the New York air. I can't wait to spend some time in the States. Florence said that she's been there once, as a small child. She said that the people over there talk funny, and that the buildings reach high into the sky. Strange country.
My huckleberry doesn't know that I'm also buying her a large wool coat. The coat's black, with some fur at the collar. Honestly, it's a bit old-fashioned, like the ones my mother wears, but it's in good quality. My sister Gladys tried it out, and said that it should be warm enough for Florence. I hope she likes it. She's always complaining about being cold in winter.
