Transcriber's note:

[ae] and [oe] are used for the diphthongs/ligatures in (mostly)
French words. (e.g. c[oe]ur, heart; s[oe]ur, sister; ch[oe]ur;
choir).

The original page headings have been retained and moved to
appropriate positions at the beginning of letters and text to
which they refer, so as not to interrupt the flow of the text.
Thus, a long letter may be prefaced by two, or even three
page headings. Likewise, footnotes have been moved to the end
of the appropriate letter, or the appropriate paragraph in the
case of longer pieces of text.

In the text file version, for "See _ante_/_post_, p. xyz", the
date and note number (where applicable) have been given instead
of the page number, for easier
