TRANSCRIPTIONS OF JOURNALS OF WILLIAM WARD JACKSON SENIOR
Guidelines For Transcribers

     Transcribers notes are written in green italic bold text.
     Transcribed using Times New Roman, Size 12, Fully Justified, Narrow Margins.
     W. W. J. does not always underline the date & daily weather. Sometimes he only underlines date but not the weather. Therefore, we have transcribed as written.

     Wherever text has been moved from left hand page and inserted to right hand page annotation will appear on left page with inserted text identified with same annotation.
     Annotation and inserted text are identified in red bold text.
     Sometimes no annotation is present on left hand page but William marks the right hand page with straight line in margin to indicate where text should be inserted.
