Transcription Notes:
checked place names, one I'm not sure of in brackets -@meg_shuler I think Duram = Vernon's misspelling of Durham. -@siobhanleachman Think it 'should' be Duran (he was moving SW from Santa Rosa, NM and there is a town of that name in the right place) ... but could be he spelt it Duram its hard to tell @phil_terry I'll stick with your suggestion Phil of Duran as Vernon does appear to be talking of a town. Have taken out one of the [[?]] as I think Salt Springs is correct. -@siobhanleachman
