Scope and content
This diary, kept during Xavier’s time at Younglove Grocers, skips most of May and June. The Xaviers adopt a boy from Tacoma General Hospital on the 24th of July; they name him Paul. Unfortunately, Paul loses too much weight too quickly, so he is taken back to the Hospital. Once back, he steadily gains weight and Xavier records his rising weight often. Paul also begins to talk. Ella (sister of Mr. Xavier) also adopts a child. Various receipts and 2-cent stamps appear in the front of the book.
