Places where whole sentences (or considerable portions thereof) were found to be illegible are noted with a bracketed ellipsis […].

I do so hate to be the only lady in the class and then I shan’t go through with the full gentleman’s course as I should there for when the ladies go out of [?][?] I hate it so I won’t go on, any way & be alone in the class. 18th A very good day in my recitations, but I do not feel very well.
