Transcription Notes:
Some corrections are made. Remarks are to be validated as they do not look correct grammatically. I think I've figured out everything but the first word in Remarks. Seems like it suggests that nothing or very little has been paid by the Bureau - but can't come up with word(s) that fit what script looks like.
