   <!--ebb:Note to Digital Mitford Editors: In this typescript, we've noticed the frequent use of the characters XX or X, and my working hypothesis is that these characters indicate points in Mitford's diary that were illegible to the transcriber. However, they also seem to be used in conjunction with titles of books Mitford mentions reading. There is probably some system to this that isn't apparent in the typescript itself. To verify this, we need to consult the original manuscript notebook.-->

            <p>Mitford’s spelling and punctuation are retained, except where a word is split at the
               end of a line and the beginning of the next in the manuscript. Where Mitford’s
               spelling and hyphenation of words deviates from the standard, in order to facilitate
               searching we are using the TEI elements “choice," “sic," and “reg" to encode both
               Mitford’s spelling and the regular international standard of Oxford English spelling,
