Facsimile note: The pages of the diary appear at approximately twice the size of the original (exact size depends upon monitor used) and have been adjusted for clarity and visibility. No other alterations or enhancements have been made. Adjustments occasionally result in color and brightness variations which exaggerate those on the original. While we have made the best efforts to increase the readability of the facsimile, some portions (especially material written in pencil) remain difficult.
