(Note from my mom: “Actually, they would be the diaries of your great-grandfather. It gets very confusing with the names. Jesse Brewer’s father was David Brewer, Jesse named his first son David. David Brewer named his first son Jesse. Phew! David Brewer came to America to set up a game preserve for Eben Jordan in Chiltonville, near Forges Pond.”)

Just noticed at the top: Dailyaide – The Silent Secretary
Just added the cover – and there is really not much that’s silent about this book. Ghosts are noisy creatures!
Fascinating! Will you eventually tell the story of how you came to have this book?
I have several volumes, all the way to… I think 1949? There are more, but I’m not sure I can get access to them. I think these landed with me because I’m a writer and was voted most likely to take them off the bookshelf once in a while and blow the dust away. Posting the entries seems like a good way to validate my family’s confidence…
And amaze your friends!
