Transcription Notes:
I have modified the position of the texts to be the same as the letter where the line starts and where the line ends. Kindly pay attention to this as it reflects it better thanks . Per SI instructions this is exactly what not to do - you should not copy the look of the original document. To be fair, if a text is difficult to decipher, it helps to know what has already been transcribed and locate the [[?]] within the text if the line breaks are included. They can be removed once the transcription is ready to be marked complete.
