Transcription Notes:
please don't send for review with so many [[?]]s and double check spelling. It's ok to leave in transcribe. others know how to decipher I believe this is the same document as page 231 but a different scan. It looks identical to page 231 except for the page being straighter and a white mark in the bottom left area. ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-01-27 20:12:31 This is a duplicate of page 231 - fully transcribed except for one [[?]] ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-01-28 12:07:55
