Edit notes

With the exception of a small travel notebook originals for this section are in 8x11 lined hardcover books, written as always in lowercase pencil.

Because the later volumes of this section were transcribed almost when written, I've sometimes allowed stylistic edits on the fly. In a few places journal was typed directly into the transcription.

Volume introduction head notes in this section seem to have become more and more detailed. They give me a computer-searchable volume index, but more importantly I've liked the way they catalogue the cultural ephemera of a particular place and time.
