Quotation marks are not used consistently, they have mainly been left
as printed, with the exception of:
Page 73 - the closing quotation mark has been removed from the end of
the paragraph before the signature of the honorable discharge;
Page 106 - a closing quotation mark has been added after “Lowell,
_Nov. 25, 1843_”;
Page 129 - the closing quotation mark has been removed from the very
end of the letter;
Page 193 - an opening quotation mark has been added at the start of
Miss Averill’s letter;
Punctuation in the Table of Contents has been made consistent.
Occasionally a character did not print completely, or a word was
duplicated across the end of a printed line. These have been corrected
silently.
The copy of the book from which is transcribed here was the author’s
own. It is unclear whether the captions handwritten on the photographs
were printed in the book or handwritten later by the author.
