Transcription Notes:
It's acknowledged that ditto marks are to be converted to text. The ditto marks in line one seem to have no numerical reference above them. That continues to pose a problem in the next line. I left the dittos in place for want of an alternative that readily makes sense. ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-01-02 13:36:10
