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] answered sixteen but now that is nothing compared with Trigonometry I am afraid I can not pass in that but I do study hard. This evening I went up to a public debate. Lucia & Louisa were here. 8th Saturday and a busy one we went up to hear the boys read and then I have worked just as hard as I could. We have at last got settled up stairs and look as nice as can be. It will be so much pleasanter and better for us. Lucy and Casden, Lydia and her brother are away so we are quite alone. Sunday went down to church today once. Have been reading and writing and everything.
