In this diary, Greene includes the usual weather reports, writings about the college, and community information. Upon not feeling well, Greene took time to arrange his diaries. At this point he had “almost 100 composition books filled with current events and personal meditations.” Greene wrote that he may have recorded things that should be erased. He wrote that readers should remember he is human.
