Mistakes: changed [[left margin] to [[left margin]]
Changed RF & AG to R F & A L - Shouldn't be RF&AL. There are spaces between letters.
Put L.R. identification at top of letters, not after the left margin info. That is an important way to identify a letter. Person or Dept in left margin have some connection or are mentioned in the letter.
L.R.B.395.2d.V.66. - B.395. of the 2d Volume of 1866 Letter's Received. A lot of times the initial, like B.395. means the first letter of the last name of person mentioned or who or what dept. it is concerned with. For instance: B.385. you will see Stuart Barnes.
