Illegible sections of the original text are noted as follows: ______. A parenthetical question mark (?) follows words in the original text that were not completely legible but were still transcribed. March 25. It was a cold stormy day but Father was not able to go, so Eva and I went to Pontiac for Willy, who was sent there by his father. Aunt Maria is sick. Mary and Janie received me with that cool, cooler dignity with which they seem to say, we don’t want you to think we think anything of you. They no need to take that trouble for it is all one to me. I shan’t get on my knees to any of them. After dinner, I went up to the court room and heard Mr. Darks plea in behalf of the youngest _______ boy. Poor fellow, I am sorry for him and hope he will get clear.
