Transcription Notes:
---------- Reopened for Editing 2023-03-28 01:07:43 changed Sequin to Seguin I think left margin says "Wright Samuel" not "Saml" There are a number of abbreviations using the superscript character "O". Some of the previous translations, like "Regt" and Detcht" are actually "regiment" and "detachment", using the abbreviation. There are several instances of headquarters being abbreviated as "HO QO" In the translation, "Burgis" should be Burgess. Left margin, "1330" should just be "130" "...no account for you must be" should be "...no account you must be"
