Transcription Notes:
Filled in cursive at top but unsure if correct -- In the passage I may have misspelled some of the names. The cursive was to hard for me to read at the beginning so I made out what words and numbers I could. The bold text after the message was difficult for me to read. ---------- Reopened for Editing 2023-04-12 13:55:36 ---------- Reopened for Editing 2023-04-12 15:18:15
