Transcription Notes:
Do not transcribe the very last line ("Your Obt. Servt", etc, etc)--it is actually part of the following page, and just happened to show from underneath when this page was microfiched. It will be transcribed as part of the next page. ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-03-11 11:40:35
