First translator?
[edit]This page seems to suggest that Helena was the first to discover and translate the coded diaries. Anne Lister's wiki page says this:
- The code used in her diaries was deciphered by the last inhabitant of Shibden Hall, John Lister (1847–1933) and a friend of his, Arthur Burrell. When the content of the secret passages was revealed, Burrell advised John Lister to burn all the diaries. Lister did not take this advice, but instead continued to hide Anne Lister's diaries behind a panel at Shibden Hall.
Perhaps the copy might be re-worded to include the contribution of John Lister and Arthur Burrell. Valetude (talk) 01:00, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
