Second Diary Entry

Here is the second diary entry, in its original form. We have been working on restoring this document since last week, and are pleased to announce that the transcription will be viewable tomorrow morning. You may notice that this entry occurs five days later than the last entry that was submitted to the blog. The reason for this is due to the overall damage of the diary, resulting in some pages being unrecoverable. However, the events seem linked between the two entries and shouldn't cause too much confusion.

Remember to check the blog tomorrow to learn what happens next in the life of Alfred Hobbs.

Old Man Hobbs

This sketch was found tucked away at the bottom of the chest. We thought it would be appropriate to post the image now, as it appears to be Alfred's father. Although we do not know his name, or much else about him, we can determine that he meant a great deal to Alfred, from both the diary entry that was posted last week and the words that are written beside the drawing, that reads 'Never Forget'.

First Diary Entry

Below is the original document that was restored this week. It's from Alfred's diary (the earlier entries were too damaged for a successful restoration to take place) and although it cannot be read very clearly in its current state, we will be posting the transcript of what is written later today. So, keep your eyes peeled for any updates on the blog.
