The Librivox audiobook looks like the first volume of the five-volume abridged edition which was later further abridged into the one-volume edition I read—anyway, it doesn't seem to cover the later years of the diary.

Have you come across any easily accessible 18th century diaries or letter collections by women? There's the short one by Beppy Byrom, but otherwise I haven't come across any. Would dearly love to have one by Margaret Ogilvy, Margaret Murray of Broughton, or any of the other prominent Jacobite women, but alas. But I'd take other women too.
