No diary typescripts survive for the years: 1936-37, 1939, 1947, 1970-72, and 1974. It is possible that the typescripts covering 1970-72 and 1974 were destroyed by Frances Partridge after the publication of 'Life Regained' and 'Ups and Downs'. The typescripts were given page numbers, but Frances Partridge removed many pages before publication due to the sensitive nature of their contents. She often completed the opening sentence in manuscript at the top of the next page along with the diary date. This explains why the numbered sequence of pages is often interrupted. The page numbers of missing sheets have been recorded in the entry for each diary. Some pages have been cut in half and the number lost, but is identifiable as one of the missing pages. In these cases, the missing page number has still been recorded and the total of un-numbered pages has been noted.
