Transcription Notes:
@siobhanleachman:- I've received a reply from TC via twitter @transcribesi about this issue. They say "YES put No./Date at top or bottom (sep from txt) - AAG wants this text searchable BUT we also want coherence of letter" Type what you see Our main goal is to create text that mirrors this document. Mirror image means not moving the stamp, Siobhan.
