The Secret Writing

   Hampton kept a small notebook in which he wrote in an unknown script.  The writing has never been deciphered.  As of this writing, the author has found no precedents for the script.  Since both the script and the underlying language are unknown, the author shall do as is done with the Voynich Manuscript and call the script system "Hamptonese".

   Here is a typical page from James Hampton's diary:

   The text contains several odd-looking signs that somewhat resemble clasped hands (click on the first one for a larger image):
