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] 12 Went down to [?] Cohills to read Latin and went to the cars, not expecting to see mother at all but she came.
