Cleaning out/rearranging things always leads to discoveries here.  Amongst the inventories in the desk was Eileen Creevey Hall’s* diary from her trip to Italy and France in 1927 when she would have been 17.   Unlike those of us with excellent intentions and poor follow-through, she kept the diary the entire trip with a fair bit of detail throughout.

I have yet to do more than thumb through it, but I think it shall bear further investigation.

*In the cast of characters: Eileen Creevey Hall, daughter of Lucy Ellsworth Creevey and George Creevey, great-granddaughter of Julie P. Smith.
