The Diary of Anne Frank by Anne Frank

Dear Kitty, I was upstairs this morning, since I promised Mrs van D. I'd read her some of my stories. I began with 'Eva's Dream', which she liked a lot, and then I read a few passages from 'The Secret Annexe', which had her in stitches. Peter also listened for a while (just the last part) and asked if I'd come to his room sometime to read more. I decided I had to take a chance right then and there, so I got my exercise-book and let him read that bit where Cady and Hans talk about God. I can't really tell what kind of impression it made on him. He said something I don't quite remember, not about whether it was good, but about the idea behind it. I told him I just wanted him to see that I didn't write only amusing things. He nodded, and I left the room. We'll see if I hear anything more!

Yours, Anne Frank
