Notes on Transcribing this page (optional)
These endorsements are from 1867 - the entries the previous transcriber was misreading as 1864.... ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-06-18 14:45:23 Please use CAPITAL LETTERS in Abbreviations like: A.A.A.G. = not a.a.a.g. Remember, the capital A in cursive looks like a lower case a. But abbrev. should be capitalized. Sgd. or Sg'd as seen in these letters = stands for "Signed".
This section can be used to communicate any questions or concerns to Smithsonian staff, as well as other volunteers, about this transcription. Do not use to transcribe extraneous notes made by collector or other institutions.
