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] 17th Study Study 18th Study and then [?][?] study 19th Friday I am going to bed at ten one night this week but I haven’t my lessons. 20th Saturday This afternoon a few of us went up to the asylum. It is pleasantly situated a mile out of town and is a model of neatness. We only went in the hall where they were nearest well. Came home and sewed some but had to study this evening. Wrote home and went to bed at twelve. 21st Gloomy, I went down to church this morning and then was foolish enough to go down this evening and it rained in torrents I had everything on me wet. The lecture was excellent.
