Darling Dot...

An entry from my great-grandmother's diary... a copy of a letter someone wrote her.

Dorothy Moore, age 20:

December 28, 1930

Darling Dot:

The ideal life, the life of full completion haunts us all. We feel the thing we ought to be beating beneath the thing we are. So build it well, whatever you do, build it straight and strong and true, build it high and clean and broad, build it for the eye of God.

Wouldst have a friend

Wouldst know what friend is best?

Have God thy friend

He passeth all the rest.

Remember me

Your adopted sis,

M. Dee Schoolcraft
