Transcription conventions:

• transcribe one line of diary text per line of transcript. This makes it easier for editors and readers to compare the two.
• leave punctuation and spelling as they are in the original. [Square brackets] are the signal that something is deliberately written differently from exactly what is in the original.
• a caret ^ indicates that the following word (usually only one) is inserted above or below the line
• If you feel that a misspelling makes comprehension difficult, insert the conventional spelling following the transcribed word [in square brackets], e.g. bussy [busy]
• If a letter or word is illegible to you, transcribe as [1 illegible word] or [mo _ _ _ ng]
• If you are unsure of a word, transcribe in square brackets preceded by a question mark, e.g. [?ironing]
• Turn off your speling and punctuationo autocreect!
