Notes

[i] Phillip Francis du Pont de Nemours (1878-1928).

[ii] Crossed out by Dunbar-Nelson as a repeat entry.

[iii] Dunbar-Nelson was most likely referring to Walter C. Winston in this entry.

[iv]  It is possible that Dunbar-Nelson recorded the wrong year for this entry. Judging from the other entries, 1918 is probably the correct year in which she read this title.
