      Angled brackets indicate shorthand. Wilford Woodruff often used that for sensitive items he recorded in his journal.

      would be interesting to compare/see/read the actual shorthand and Kenney's interpretation side-by-side.

      Dan Vogel is working on another edition of the Woodruff diaries. He has made some corrections to Kenny's shorthand interpretations.
