Thank you for your interest in the Horner pages. Dr. Horner made a sketch of the lynched body of Arthur Jordan and also wrote these pages. I included the sketch in my book but little from the diary, other than to say that he was told about the lynching at breakfast and ran to the cemetery. I was able to decipher that from the entry begining Jan. 19. (The number 19 is in the left margin.) The combination of poor handwriting and bleed-through has made it almost impossible to read the diary. I will share your work with the U.Va. library where the Horner papers are housed.

The archivist at the University of Virginia library wrote about the Horner diary entry on Arthutr Jordan and how difficult it is to read. Here is the link:
