	Sandy Spring Museum	This might be due to the fact there is text outside of the table and causing it to glitch.

	ElizabethK	The entry at the top right page dated Saturday, AUG 25th, 1889 is most likely Saturday, AUG 25th, 1894.

I think it's safe to go with the ampersand though.	Page 24	Diary: Caleb E. Iddings, 1892	Dr. Caleb Edward Iddings Diaries	over 3 years ago
	WritingBug	The "&" signs are sideways a bit so it was hard to tell if it was an "&" or not, but from the sentences the context clues point to the mysterious symbol to be "&" but I'm not completely sure.	Page 24	Diary: Caleb E. Iddings, 1892	Dr. Caleb Edward Iddings Diaries	over 3 years ago

	Sandy Spring Museum	For degree, you can just write "degree" in. As for underlining, the only way to currently underline text is to use HTML. You can do this by typing <u> underlined word </u>. Hope this helps!	Page 30	Diary: Caleb E. Iddings, 1880	Dr. Caleb Edward Iddings Diaries	about 4 years ago

	PrenthgiLW	I have done some editing today and cleared some needed reviews, but have stopped formatting the written and printed headings for the daily entries until an "owner" of this diary settles on a format. I'll gladly follow the choice.	Page 2	Diary: Caleb E. Iddings, 1877	Dr. Caleb Edward Iddings Diaries	over 4 years ago
	PrenthgiLW	I guess Iddings hadn't learned how to spell "Leisear" yet - regularly spelling the name "Leisure".	Page 6	Diary: Caleb E. Iddings, 1877	Dr. Caleb Edward Iddings Diaries	over 4 years ago
