On offer is an interesting World War II Nova Scotia Canada homefront five year diary with one and a half years of the five filled out and then abruptly stopped handwritten by Joyce Lohnes of Halifax. Joyce is a very devout United Church member and regularly attends Church with her boyfriend Tremaine. They attend shows and keep company daily and very intriguingly Joyce writes short notes in shorthand after Tremaine goes home that only create wonder what this deeply religious girl is keeping secret. Local collectors and historians of the time and place will undoubtedly have fun deciphering her secrets.
