Transcription of the translated text (laid in on cards, some of which are misnumbered): Shintia Argazali

Editorial Notes:

Translation cards for the periods of April 24 to May 6 and May 26 to June 24 are laid in with the diary. Also itinerary for the period of May 7 to June 23. Translation cards are misnumbered. Transliteration from the original postdates that handwritten translation. There are many unclear portions which the translator has marked as such with a question mark. There were illegible parts of that handwritten translation that could not be deciphered for the electronic transcription. This is indicated by a triple question mark inserted in the text.
