Please review instructions as to how tables are supposed to be set up. Or, look at a few that are completed and approved and copy the format. Also, put a space between each row, which means each new row must start with a pipe.

Be careful about capital "L" that actually look like "S". It's all in how that last little tail curves.

Use & instead of + 

A2M = AQM (the q is for quarter as in quarter master)

We don't designate underline - and if we did, it wasn't done correctly.

When there are ditto marks, transcribe the repetition as if it's written. This refers to the last row, last column, left page. This:
Forwards Report of R&F for Nov " " Abad"d Lands " " Clothing distributed becomes this:
Forwards Report R&F for Nov Forwards Report of Aband'd Lands Forwards Report Clothing distributed
