Diary Entry 1932

Dear Diary

It is the 2nd of September in the year of our Lord 1932. Finally after many years of faithful service to The City of London's, Fidelity Fiduciary Bank, I have been noticed and commended in such a way, that results in me having ascended the ranks and being able to accept the new role of 'General Manager and Head of the Board for Fidelity Fiduciary Bank- London', where I have replaced the position, most recently held by Mr Dawes Sr. I am most pleased with the new prospects that this will provide for me and my wife in providing all that she needs and in saving for any future endeavours. My son may also benefit from such an accolade, as it provides him with more social standing once he removes himself from any Educational institute, he may attend at the time.

I also, today, had the great pleasure of meeting my new Clerk, Andrew. He and Amelia seem to already be acquainted with each other quite wonderfully, this is probably as a result of them being derived from the same cloth i.e. they are both from a class of lowers, who have improved their social standing.

Here's to the future, hurrah!
