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] Had to go to the Baptist after all. 5th Went to recite and [?]. That wonderful Mrs Stone has returned. They all seem to worship her. 6th No school today as tis election day. Yes today will the question be decided. How? For the best I hope. Have been writing some reading some and down town this afternoon. Had my likeness taken for Ada Webster, called on Miss Olney. But now that the day has passed I have not accomplished anything. I wish that paper was off my hands. I have part of my editorials written and part of my composition. I am going to the social to night. Shall enjoy it hugely a stranger no doubt. Lucy is making my head drip.
