You're referring to the famous "Dear Diary" letters of Alice Liddell, the real-life inspiration for Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland".

Alice Liddell was a young girl who was a frequent visitor to the home of Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll), a mathematics lecturer at Christ Church, Oxford. Dodgson would often take Alice and her sisters on boat trips and tell them stories, which he would later write down and illustrate.

In 1862, Dodgson wrote a story called "Alice's Adventures Under Ground" for Alice's amusement, which was later expanded and published as "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" in 1865. The story was a huge success, and Alice became a celebrity of sorts, with many people seeking her out to meet her.

Alice's diary, which she kept from 1862 to 1864, contains many references to her adventures with Dodgson and her experiences as the inspiration for his famous story. The diary is now held at the Bodleian Library at Oxford University.

Here's an excerpt from one of Alice's diary entries, dated July 4, 1862:

"Dear Diary,

I had a most delightful day today. We went on a boat trip with Mr. Dodgson and had a lovely time. He told us a story about a girl who fell down a rabbit hole and went to a strange country called Wonderland. I was so enchanted by the story that I begged him to write it down for me. He said he would, and I am so excited to see it when it is finished.

Yours truly, Alice Liddell"

These diary entries provide a unique glimpse into the life of the real Alice, and offer a fascinating insight into the origins of one of the most beloved stories of all time.
