Day By Day Vol. I Conventions
CONVENTIONS USED
Dates: I have followed the conventions used by the University of California Press on the volumes of Mark Twain’s Letters, except I have added the day of the week. To wit:
October 5 Thursday – Sources indicate this is a confirmed date, or a deduced date from events or other evidence. Firm dates come before conjectured or circa dates and date ranges.
October 3? Tuesday – The question mark indicates a conjecture of October 3. Conjecture dates are listed separately.
