In this text volume the footnotes have generally been moved to the end of letters.
In letter 421 on page 3, "Brighthelmstone, August 24th, 1871.", the transcriber has changed 1871 to 1781.
Page 229: "que vers la fin de ce periode"--the transcriber has changed "ce" to "cette".
Page 300: "With regard to those which are entrusted ----[1] it could not surely be offensive to ask him for a written acknowledgment." The transcriber has added the dash where the original had a blank space.
