You might try taking it to a copier place, making a darker image of it and
then highlight the area with a yellow highlighter.

Subject: [APG] Need tips on reading very faint manuscript


> Hi! I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to read very faint
pencil manuscript. I am reading a manuscript journal that a fellow kept
while he traelled from New York to New Orleans, circa 1847. For the most
part the journal is very readable. The only problem is on the inside cover
is the gentleman's name and the pencilling (it is written in pencil) is very
faint and extremely difficult to make out. Any thoughts?
