I recently received my great great grandfathers diary from 1911 when he was with the U.S. Army in the Philippines, it’s written in pencil and I was hoping if anyone could help me out on reading it.

I can help you on that and also I can help on converting that in digital text form and I can submit it in Philippine Diary Project, philippinediaryproject.com

Or you can directly message the FB page of that, they post day-to-day diary entries of soldiers, civilians and officials during Phil-American War, World War 2 and post-war years.
