    Please note

    This cursive handwriting is in
    ink
    & is very clear and not terribly challenging; these period letters are often difficult to read, but given a
    small time
    investment, you can get used to translating most of these diaries & letters.
    Please ask if you'd like any additional information on entries or more photos.  =)
