Price an extremely busy attorney in Los Angeles California. Thousands of entries, Price, originally from England, was a dedicated diarist, born in 1898 thusly in his 40s and 50s during the writing of his diaries details to the reader a hard driving, intense man with a soft and sensitive side for his family, those involved in the War effort back home [he is committed to writing multiple British prisoners of war] in England and in many ways the soul of a poet using the endpapers and memorandum pages to record verse he likes and wishes to remember.
