Notes on Transcribing this page (optional)
at ... transcriber skipped to next page Edited - fixed first paragraph but not ones under that. Edited - Finished pg 26, working on pg 27 Also Florida Schools! That was a lot of money back then. Not sure what was said about Jackson looks like "unkempt" man whatever that means.. but Alwood stuck up for Fasher. 09262022- Cannot tell whether the last word on the page "assistance" is the end of the sent from column two or three.
