[COMPLETE] [1700s memoir] The Journal of Nicholas Cresswell - kaz
Please advise on the following suggestion. Section 8's ending and section 9's beginning are in the middle of a day's (Saturday, August 26th, 1775) journal entry. Would it not be a better placement of section 8's end to be after the day's end which would be "she came to bed" and thus section 9 would then begin at "Sunday, August 27th"? It would seem to make the reading flow better in between the sections.
Let me know how to proceed. Thanks.

Hello. I'm starting my reading and I've run across what looks to be a self-censored word. p273 it says "the Colonel ill of the C---p in bed."
Google has been no help. Should I just read this as "c" then "p" and move on? Or does anyone happen to know what this would be? Thank you.

It's probably the "clap" (a colloquial term for gonorrhea), but "uncensoring" it would be venturing beyond reading out loud and into editorial work. It's better to try conveying the way it's printed. How that might be accomplished is up to you and the BC.tcjsavannah wrote: ↑July 30th, 2021, 7:08 am Hello.

Just to give you an update...
I have successfully moved house and gotten my recording area set up. I have recorded section 3 (editing today) and will be working next on 4 and 5. I may miss getting all 3 up by 17 Aug (my deadline) but they are in progress and will be up soon

I re-uploaded Section 10 because I realized I had forgotten to say "End of section 10" at the end. I also trimmed out extra space from the beginning.

Recording section 5 (page 60 in the archive text) and cannot figure out the abbreviation B.O.B. Normally, I like to read abbreviations out (to make it easier for the listener) but can't in this case. Any ideas?
