Transcription Notes:
it Thos for Thomas - Jno D Moore 4/1 - transcribed - pls review ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-04-01 14:24:20 Please notice, the abbreviation for Commissioner in most cases on most pages is actually "Comnr" or "Comsr NOT "Commr". Look at the number of humps in the cursive letters you see. Three humps in a "m" and two humps in an "n". You would see six humps if it were "mm".
