The Journals of Anne Lister

Friday 22nd June 1821, Halifax

I owe a great deal to this Journal. By unburdening my mind on paper I feel, as it were, in some degree to help get rid of it; it seems made over to a friend that hears it patiently, keeps it faithfully, and by never forgetting anything is always ready to compare the past & present & thus to cheer & edify the future. In the afternoon at 4.40, walked with my aunt to Butters’ to choose stuff for curtains for my bed.
