Notes on Transcribing this page (optional)
---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-07-07 20:31:25 ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-07-11 12:50:15 There were a lot of mistakes, and took out added punctuation where not seen in the image. Rearranged the placement of sections. This is not a letter TO the person in the left margin. It doesn't go after the Sender information, like in a Letter Sent or Received. This name is related to this letter in some way. ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-07-11 16:14:59
