Thank you very much for your help!
Still have a few gaps, but most of it is there, a summary of what is still missing:
16 February 1905: She is clean and tidy and makes her own bed but is very noisy especially so at night. [Describes?] voices [from within?]. H good.
21 April 1905: Qts. "own thoughts bother me at night D[octor], because I [speak?] my thoughts aloud ….annoying thoughts”. Speaks in a very childish and feeble-minded manner. Memory impaired. Health good.
Think we have everything else.
Again, any further help is greatly appreciated.
