DescriptionSome 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] Sunday morning 18 cold and dreary have been to church to the Episcopal and have a good time the rest of the day.
The other day the prayer that Mary Queen of Scots wrote on the window of her prison with a diamond ring was written on the board in our Latin recitation room. I copied it as it is such beautiful Latin.
O Domine Deus, [?] in te /
O care [?] Iesus, nomine libira me /
In duro catena /
In misere poena /
Desidero te /
Longinendo gerendo /
[?] genuflictendo /
Adoro imploro, [?] libera me
Translation
O Lord God Almighty, I trusted in thee /
O my blessed Jesus now liberate me /
In adamant chains /
