Transcription Notes:
For 1. through 10. this part of the form was left blank. I included the possible words within the brackets for some parts of the document that I could not transcribe. I struggle to read cursive unfortunately. ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-01-20 06:51:54 ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-01-20 10:11:08 Possible editing change for “male” and “female” number transcription for legibility; looks like there are 54 Males due to period placement— however, the format is consistent with the rest of the document as is. [sic] brackets removed.
