To the well-meaning transcriber of Katharine Lawrence's diary:
Thank you for slogging through what I assume was a lot of teenager handwriting for my comfort and reading pleasure. But when you insert in parentheses "here follows a description of gowns worn" before blithely moving on, I want to find you and throttle the life from you.
Best wishes,
The frustrated historian
Though I feel guilty for finding your frustration funny, I think this is a great sign that what YOU'RE attending to is both significant and needs you to bring it to light!
