Oh, okay. Yes, cursive can be sharp and pointy too.

I'm copying it again since the writing is beginning to fade. My older sister actually made the suggestion recently that I type the thing out. That...would actually be a good idea so that I'll have a copy that is easy to distribute and I'll continue the hand-written one later. The journal is famous enough to be found online, transcribed in some places. I'm curious to compare my transcription of it to the ones I can see already done. It did sit in a museum in New Brunswick for a time, but my grandmother wouldn't renew the lease when she and her family moved out west here.

There are some things written in cursive that I can not easily read, and one of the cursive that I can't read are similar to the way you described about the "k" and "t".
