Transcription Notes:
Very unsure of the "writer" in the July 8 entry July 8 entry needs revision and a clear eye. Think Sub. Apt. may be "Conir" <- it's not, it's Com'r, short for Commissioner, and it's Sub-Ast., for Sub. Assistant It is Sub-Asst. Com'r (Sub-Assistant Commissioner). The double, lowercase "s" is written in a style called the "long s." Removed [[underlined]], per current SI transcribing instructions.
