Transcription Notes:
It is Dec 31.65--meaning the date. Not Dec $1.65.
I put a couple of extra rows in temporarily to mark where my editing stopped. Still a work in progress. Will format properly when text editing is done.
5/1 - lots of missing punctuation added, there are spaces between the pipes i.e., | X | and not |X|, pls read instructions on how to transcribe tables - this has not been fully transcribed and formatted per instructions - pls pls read

Apologies, this had still been an editing work in progress, and I hadn't finished correcting previous transcriber's errors.
-C. B. Wilder, not G.B. Wilder.
-Formatting was still slightly off-the first line of dashes was set up for a 15 columned table, not 17 columns.
-pipes were still off-causing a few rows to misalign
Has been corrected. The table now displays properly in the Markdown software that TC uses. While it is not mandated by TC to use Markdown Live Preview to verify table formatting, I find it an incredible time saving (and eye-strain saving) tool. It will show you immediately where rows are misaligned (caused by incorrect pipe placement), and makes typos much easier to catch. Thank you to the other reviewer who recently suggested it!
