From the journal

Thursday, 30 September 1926

Bangor. Ate well, slept badly, walked a great deal. Better, on the whole. Observed wallpaper lifting at the seams.

Tuesday, 28 September 1926

Bangor. Quiet here. I don't think about Arkham much. I think about it all the time.

Saturday, 25 September 1926

Bangor. Somebody here keeps a lamp in the window every night. I asked why. Tired. Tea.
