Not quite all of Diana’s ms letters appear in the transcribed versions, and there are some transcribed letters which don’t appear in the original, but the transcripts are easier to use. Many of her letters are written in the form of a diary (for posting all together in the diplomatic bag) but the dating tends to jump about. The transcript seems to have been arranged in one long sequence for publication in Diana Cooper's memoirs, and then later divided up into sections, more or less by year. Unfortunately many excerpts had been cut out from the transcript before they arrived at CAC, while the memoirs were being put together. Some have been retained in DIAC 3.
