DEAR DIARY,

It is Sunday August 21st in the year of Our Lord 1938.

My goodness what a morning! Mae and me was walking up the yard coming from church, when we sees Eli just a-stumbling and staggering up to the house. At first I thinking he drunk, but the closer I gets I notice that he bleeding! Well, we brang him into the kitchen and help him to clean up some. I check his nose and it weren’t broke. Lord have mercy, I told that fool man, I done told you that you ought not go to that jook but you went anyhow and now just look!

I think Mae just bout to fainted when I said that! We don’t never talk to guests—or nobody for that matter—with such a cross tone, but Eli, he my good friend.

He said You right Ella. You right, but I met the Wolf. I met

Howlin’ Wolf.

Well then, I ask him, Did Mr. Wolf tell you who Jessie?

I know who Jessie is, he say. Scuse me I gotta go.

Then he went off to his room. He just left to go to Mr. Martin’s house for supper.

Mae says to me, You fuss over that man, Ella. You fuss over him more than you fuss over other guests. I just hoping—

Mae, you best to keep a civil tongue in your head! I says, That nonsense!

Alright then, she say. Alright, but you knows the language I be talking.

That girl coming at me with such mess. Some nerve, Diary. I tell you what. Some nerve.
