Transcription Notes:
Note to reviewer: the text has many instances where an s is replaced by an f so it appears to be misspellings in the transcription. ---------- Reopened for Editing 2023-05-12 10:29:57 The symbol similar to an "f" in place of what would normally be an "s" is actually the older script method of writing an "s". ---------- Reopened for Editing 2023-05-12 11:21:50 ---------- Reopened for Editing 2023-05-12 13:51:12 ---------- Reopened for Editing 2023-05-12 15:33:17
