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] Friday. Rainy & wet. To day have not failed, Loo & Mary Eanes Stella & Alice came up to night and such a train. Then we went over to the [?] society. Had a good time. Stella and Alice stayed till most eleven when Charly came for them. Wrote a letter & went to bed at twelve. Saturday 9th Today Ladies & gents were to read together & it was calculated just as things usually are here they could not all get into the room and the boys didn’t come so Miller was the only one that read. The Proff is raving about it. The girls compositions were good, I expected to read but did not for lack of time. Went down town & got a letter from home. All well & no school. Sunday 10th Went to church this morning to sabath [sic] school with Lucy & down to [?] school. Tired. Writing this evening.
