Transcription Notes:
5/9 - to me it made sense to reflect three tables on this page, the first having no row entries - for what its worth it made sense to me to transcribe as three - fully transcribed - pls review ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-05-10 09:54:27 I agree that this is a reasonable treatment of this transcription. There was just one missing pipe. All else looked fine. ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-05-10 11:51:12
