TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE Italic text is denoted by _underscores_. Bold text is denoted by =equal signs=. A superscript is denoted by ^x or ^{xx}, for example GEN^L or 1^{er}. Four periods .... indicate omitted text in a quotation. Four mdashes ———— also indicate omitted text in a quotation. The two changes noted in the ERRATA have been applied to the etext. There are no Footnotes in the main text. The three Footnotes in the Appendix have been placed at the end of the letter or table in which they occur. The anchors are denoted by [number]. Unlike the prior three volumes, this book had a date (Year. Month) as a margin header on most pages. This information about the chronology of the narrative has been preserved as a Sidenote to the relevant paragraph on that page whenever the header date changed. The tables in this book are best viewed using a monospace font. Some minor changes to the text are noted at the end of the book. With a few exceptions noted at the end of the book, variant spellings of names have not been changed.
