Transcription Notes:
Difficult handwriting / many crossed-out words / non-sensical grammar and incomplete sentences (no punctuation) [[note: Q.E.D. - It can be used when you have demonstrated or have shown evidence that something you have asserted is true. A kind of “There! I told you so!”]]. I believe "The U.S. Gov. should" should be sticken too. And it would then read "Therefore Medium of Exchange would be in greater circulation. Each person ..." It makes more sense not to include "The U.S.Gov.".
