-Henry A. Catlett, not Corbett confirmed by other FB records
-Disb'g, rather than Disbig for Disbursing
-Greenup County Ky
-no ^'s are to be used as per TC instructions,just type the insertion right through where it belongs
-for the last entry, it is impossible to tell which of the names in the list on that page were intended for the final entry versus the one before it. I transcribed it as if Ellen Anderson and Susan Ryle were the intended recipients of the final letter
