Transcription Notes:
---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-02-20 07:06:42 Corrected names,titles, roman numerals, punctuation ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-02-20 11:36:33 ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-02-20 13:03:17 ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-02-20 13:18:48 Please do not change the roman numerals. They are both supposed to be "I" not "II". It was the convention at the time to write them that way. This is validated also by the fact that the sections in question are the first (and in this case, the only) in each of the special orders. ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-02-20 14:04:23 It's all correct. There was only a symbol by mistake
