Transcription Notes:
1. Fixed formatting. NOTE to newer transcribers: Do not match original line breaks. 2. Changed "Cut flint" to "Cut stone" - the house is built of stone 3. Pretty sure "House portion" is not correct but can't figure out what it should be. I believe the second word begins with "f" based on handwriting elsewhere.
