Emily's Diary, Wednesday 15th May, 1839

"I fear by my un-aquaintance with the true state of the case, I have been too long ignorant_and the following lucid description of it from "The Spirit of the West" would prove so highly satisfactory to our friends in Jesey, that for the mere pleasure of proving to them that truth can be stated with respect to that unhappy island sometimes, even by it's inhabitants, I shall transcribe it here..."

Apologies to readers that this quote stops here.  I have not finished transcribing the full passage myself ! Please check back soon.
