{This may have been accidentally mislabeled by Dillon as 1912 Feb 18-April 25 and may actually be 1913. The entries are not repeats of his previous diary dated Dec 23 1911-Sept 2,1912, and there is a gap in the series: 1913 is missing. The next diary begins May 15 1914. Regardless, please transcribe the dates as Dillon has written them in the pdfs that follow. Thank you.}
