L. Vernon Briggs

Day thirty-one, and the FINAL DAY of our daily readings from “Dear Los Angeles,” a collection of letters and diary entries from 1542 to 2018, while all of us quarantine in 2020. Can you believe it’s been a whole month already?!

Today’s entry from 1882 comes from L. Vernon Briggs, who was a pioneering forensic psychiatrist. We think it’s an appropriate end to the series.

If you’re finding yourself hooked, we highly recommend getting your own copy to keep on the coffee table. Support Local before heading to Amazon. Pages here in Manhattan Beach is offering online and phone orders with curbside pick-up, local delivery, and shipping options.

We love you and we miss you, Los Angeles!
