Posted in The diary of Elizabeth Whetherby - A Historic Fiction

We did not even attempt to go to church services for Thanksgiving Day. My family has always gone but William does not hold to such ideas. He said he prefers to keep to himself on days of celebration. This saddens me. I have been looking forward to returning to town or at least meeting with some other family to celebrate this day.

Mr. Clayton has come back and brought a letter from Milly. I have not had a chance to read it. I am preparing William a special meal. This will be our first holiday with each other and our last one for some time.

I will have to thank Milly again for the book. It is a lifesaver – or at least a dinner saver! I am cooking a couple of small potted pigeons with a piece of salt pork and stuffing inside. I am also boiling some very good-looking beets I found in the cellar. We will have that with some bread rolls and butter. I have not decided if I should make something sweet or not.

I do plan to make up a plate for Thomas. While William is busy in his study I am going to sneak out and set a pretty table for the boy in his home. I found an attractive table cloth and a couple of little candles to make the occasion seem more festive. I think I will write him a little note and tell him how thankful I am for him being here with me. I hope I can make a friend out of him.

Mr. Clayton also brought news for William. He will have to leave the first of December.

Dec. 13, 1904 - The Diary of Miss. Whetherby Found in Abandoned House

Elizabeth Whetherby, a bright and intelligent woman, and the youngest child of Wilhelm and Josephina Whetherby, vanished on the night of April 7, 1862. To the dismay of her family and friends, there were no suspects in the case though a few local men had been questioned. The case became the property of the Unsolved Crime Division and buried amongst the other files. Years later, a stained and weather-beaten diary has been found in the basement of an abandoned building in Redinshire. The cover, ripped and water-damaged, bears the embossed name "Elizabeth Whetherby."
