Transcription Notes:
---------- Reopened for Editing 2023-10-24 09:56:31 to remove stamp. Also... those " before each line are to indicate the entire thing should be in quotes. We don't do that anymore. Just at the beginning and the end. Also, do not hit enter at the end of the written line, use the enter where the original writer leaves space (after letterhead, between paragraphs, before signature etc.)
