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] The play is Merchant of Venice. Yes & must write for that box. 22 Did not go into the Botany class to day. Recited in C.S. But did not read my composition as Mrs S wants me to read next Saturday with all. I shall have to write a new one for I won’t read that. 23 Saturday Have worked, have read & done a little of everything. No more reading circles. How the wind does blow. 24 Sunday.
