Pollin Shorthand

Background

• A LennonWylie collection comprised of a diary written in some form of shorthand with miscellaneous other items relating to the Pollin family.

Comments

• One diary page 'Memoranda' contains BMD dates - can assume these are all members of the Pollin family.

• Rather easy to reverse engineer the identity of the people, even without decoding the shorthand. 

• That said some of the shorthand is clear - e.g. the Pitman vertical line is a 'D' for Death.
