Transcriber’s Notes
Punctuation and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed.
Simple typographical errors were corrected; occasional unbalanced quotation marks retained.
Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained.
Portions of the handwritten letters were difficult to read and the transcriptions here may contain errors; known difficulties are noted below.
Page [82]: “Viga” is uncertain in this handwritten letter. The letter is not included in the book’s List of Illustrations.
Page [82]: “always born for” may be a misprint for “borne”.
Page [165]: “The march was quite” probably should be “quiet”.
