Transcription Notes:
If original transcriber sees this: You may want to re-read the transcription instructions regarding formatting. Also - there is ample use of "&c" in these documents - it's understandable that it could be mistaken for "to" If you read through a few completed transcriptions it may help you decipher the writing better. ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-03-08 14:15:30 ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-03-08 17:16:53 ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-03-08 20:42:55
