Transcription Notes:
(what looks like a 'p' is actually 'ss' so abbreviation is Miss for Mississippi) Not sure about "Jas" being the correct name (short for James) which is correct) its not A.S. its A.L. abbreviation for Abandoned Lands, 3/29 - transcribed - pls review ---------- The transcriber has not read instructions. We do note use [[Line]]; we do not use [[Page number]] before the page number. Several things were not transcribed as seen; they mixed up things. They added a few words, missed words, spelled out some abbreviations. I have gone over this page previously and fixed things, and unless this is a duplicate, the same mistakes are back. Took out [[Line]] and [[Page number]] before, and they are here again. Getting rid of that. Reopened for Editing 2024-03-30 13:40:26
