Ms. Southwell and the rest of the wonderful staff at the Small Library  
should be encouraged to "tweet" at least one of these diaries on  
Twitter, as the Massachusetts Historical Society is currently doing  
with John Quincy Adams's diary of his Russian diplomatic tour:  http://twitter.com/JQAdams_MHS

That enterprise now has more than 16,000 followers on Twitter and is,  
I am sure, great publicity for the MHS.
