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] Aug 4th Seated on the grass, no in the yard. Writing on any lap at the close of a very hot day, am I. To morrow we get to go back to my school. Have just said to Mother “do you suppose I can go back to school.” “I don’t know you must talk to your father about it.” I don’t want to go, and I don’t want to stay. Guess I’ll finish a letter and go up to see Mollie. Aug 22 School closed. O this has been a long week. It seems so good to be free again. Aug 25 Went down beyond Farmington to camp meeting. Started at sun rise back at ten. Sept first I am now no nearer a decision as to what I am going to do then I was last week. Am not going to church
