A leaf from her diary is included in the book but not in the exhibition.
My question is:
Does a leaf mean a leaf or a sheet?

In context it almost certainly means "a single piece of paper"
If you happen to know that she was in the habit of keeping leaves from trees and plants in her diary then I suppose it could mean a tree leaf. How many people do you know that keep tree leaves in their diaries?
