Transcription Notes:
---------- Reopened for Editing 2023-09-07 14:05:56 ---------- Reopened for Editing 2023-09-08 18:05:58 There is a horse disease called "blackleg" or "quarter evil" - that may be what is referred to here as "foot Evil." The previous transcriber said "foot Quit," but I think it is more likely "Evil."
