  TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE The editor and his printer made every effort to reproduce Washington's journal precisely and without any corrections, noting in the Preface "with that literal exactness as to text which can only be assured by the careful efforts of an experienced copyist and expert proof reader having access to and comparing in every possible case the copies with the originals." This etext preserves that intent, and no corrections of spelling or punctuation have been made to the journal text (Washington's words as found in the printed book). A few corrections have been made to the editor's Footnotes and to the Index; more detail of that can be found at the end of the book. Footnotes have been left in-line whenever possible, following the format of the original text. Some that were placed mid-paragraph have been moved to the end of the paragraph. One unusual symbol is denoted by ɭ (Unicode Hex026d) on page 107, in the string '6400 ɭ 400'. Author's meaning is not clear. The cover image was created by the transcriber and is placed in the public domain. JOURNAL |
