Some sections of the original diary are illegible, and these are noted in the transcription. A bracketed question mark [?] represents one illegible word. Places where whole sentences (or considerable portions thereof) were found to be illegible are noted with a bracketed ellipsis […]. Whole paragraphs found to be illegible have been noted in the following manner: [P] the water as it falls from the spring, see that star that [?] looked in at my window [?] and all. Will I ever live there again? 25th Study to night. Have got along well in my classes. Letters from Gus & James. Paid me well for going down town. 26th First one minute can I write.
