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] Sunday. Just as [?] down sick as I care to be. Tis a beautiful morning but my ambition has all slipped out. I am not going to church. Because I don’t want to, and then Mr Hill spoke to me yesterday for not coming. Saturday again. Made some calls with Mother. Sunday at church. James & Verona called.
