A good source for what Thomas?... he wasn't short of sauce, that's for certain.. though I too have only seen condensed extracts.. i.e. not had the priviledge to see the original or verify the work of whoever it was that cracked his code..

He touched on so much of what was everyday life for him which for us are significant milestones in history, his diaries are great for just dipping into and becoming absorbed into the world of the seventeenth century..

I can't help wondering what he would have done if armed with a laptop and had the internet at his disposal...
