Unsure of the first Cordiell daughter's name, Echanne?
In the original diary, her name is clearly Johanna (you wouldn't have a way of knowing that). Her sister is Veronica (there is a typo in your transcript). Monnot doesn't need to be in brackets, because the correction is clearly handwritten in Jaffe's transcript.
