Transcription Notes:
---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-07-18 15:04:05 -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 ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-07-18 15:48:40 ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-07-20 08:56:46
