Punctuation and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed.

Misspellings in quoted evidence not changed; misspellings that could be due to mispronunciations were not changed.

Some simple typographical errors were corrected.

Inconsistent hyphenation of compound words retained.

Ambiguous end-of-line hyphens retained.

Occasional uses of "Mr." for "Mrs." and of "Mrs." for "Mr." corrected.

Dubious repeated words, (e.g., "What took place by way of of conversation?") retained.

Several unbalanced quotation marks not remedied.

Occasional periods that should be question marks not changed.

Occasional periods that should be commas, and commas that should be periods, were changed only when they clearly had been misprinted (at the end of a paragraph or following a speaker's name in small-caps at the beginning of a line). Some commas and semi-colons were printed so faintly that they appear to be periods or colons: some were found and corrected, but some almost certainly remain.

Text in quotations is not indented unless it was indented in the source.

Page 48: "Mrs. Evans. Well, she might have finally got him in" did not show "Evans" in small caps to indicate she was the speaker; corrected here.

Page 156: "When did teach there?" probably is missing "you".

Page 214: "Executive Order No. 1130" should be "11130".

Page 223: "He likes _the_ give" was printed that way, with "the" in italics.

Page 231: "Approximately hold old" should be "how".

Page 308: "Section 11, page 8" may be misprint for "Section II, page 8"

Page 330: "Mrs. Bates, I am Albert E. Jenner" was misprinted as "Mrs. Bates. I am Albert E. Jenner" with "Bates" in small-caps, followed by a period, indicating that Mrs. Bates was the speaker. Changed here.

Page 333: "some of em he wouldn't" appears to be missing an apostrophe before "em", as "em" was slightly indented relative to the left margin.

Page 363: "special train from" probably should be "training".

Page 369: "It took 2 years of something" was printed that way.

Page 390: "As far as you can remember" was misprinted as "fas".
