Grail Diary Inserts: Sharing some, Requesting some

If that would exist, people would pay THOUSANDS of dollars for it! There was a set of photographs of all pages sold by the propstore and also this pictures set sold for a few thousand dollars. The pictures in the diary came from "source books" in many cases. On the Club Obi Wan forum, you can find info about these source books and also scans of these drawings. But what you are asking: a PDF of the original grail diary pages, does not exist.

I Wish lol
 
I found these two newspaper articles on the Grail from 1910 and 1921 that I am making into newspaper clipping inserts that Henry Jones would have stuck into his diary. Enjoy!

I also recently messed around with this using the zen seeker text and eventually just made up the missing sections/words. I did figure out one of the missing words down near the end of the second page is "people".
yes i'm going to do the same and make up the missing words unless others find a real clear copy with all text
 
I have done the same also:

My dearest Sally
It was very nice to get your letter
from Zanzibar yesterday. I had been trying
to hear, for never have I received any letter
giving your final plans! I am certain
one or two have been lost, for any latest
news from the last time your family and I
had ! Now as I explained in my letter her

I would not think yet to any other ports
because I had only first the name

Finally after more research i came up with this based the text on what others have came up with on here and on COW ect and replaced the missing words, with what i think makes sense and added a made up the last line plus sticking with the Passage to India theme i sign it Stella ( the daughter of Mrs Moore). The font i used for the handwriting is called DESYREL
