I too think you should do what you want. Even without an explanation I am not shocked, offended,outraged or even mildly miffed.

Even in ebook land I have bigger concerns than a modernization of language. And hopefully most of us here could quickly tell if an older book had been modernized just by the usage of present day expressions and/or spellings and the absence of older more obscure ones. Probably not in all cases, but pretty sure in most.

I admire those who do this type of work pro bono as it were, and perhaps a smidge of artistic license while keeping the meaning intact is not inexcusable.
