Facsimile note: The pages of the diary appear at approximately 1.5 times the size of the original (exact size when viewed depends upon monitor used) and have been adjusted for clarity and visibility. No other alterations or enhancements have been made. Adjustments sometimes 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 remain difficult.
