Notes
1. Many of the dates on the left hand sides of the pages were cut off. i.e. see page 3
-the entry before the 5th -the actual month is cut off. So for many of these (if I
couldn’t figure out the month) I put “[?]mo, 6th” etc. Also on one page there was a
line at the top cut off so I think I made a note to you in the diary with square
brackets. I made a few notes for you in the diary in square brackets.
2. Whoever numbered these pages, numbered them differently. Every two pages
only has one number (i.e one of your photocopied pages has one number, but there
are two pages of her diary to each photocopied sheet)/ So I put an “a” and a “b”
after the page numbers, but there was no a or b in the actual numbering.
3. There were more words I couldn’t figure out in this one. Her writing was worse
by the end and harder to read. These certain flowers she’s always talking about looks like its spelt “cerus” - I ’m wondering if she means cherries! (at first I thought
she meant crocuses or something). See what you think.
4 .1 tried to put in a [sic] when she missed her apostrophe...
5. On one of the pages there was an envelope and then the next few pages were not
pages from her diary just loose leaf papers. So I typed them up. Were they what
was in the envelope?
