Transcription Notes:
edited to include strikethrough
2. Edited to remove the strikethrough - there is no need to include these because they are irrelevant to the text and only represent a change in case for the typist. The instructions say minimise the use of [[]] and strikethroughs are optional. In this case it makes no sense to include them.
