Transcription Notes:
not at all sure about this! - Can completely understand. She's not an easy transcribe! Not sure whether it's a prescription form or a pad for doctors notes so I've moved the below comment to this box. [[This is a double preprinted prescription form.]] Have edited to add in the [[preprinted]] notation as most of the project is Florence Bailey's handwritten notes and this is a quick way of informing the reader of the transcription (assuming they don't have the original images to look at) that she didn't write these portions. Have attempted to find the R shaped symbol but can't find anything that resembles it. Any help on this gratefully received. - @siobhanleachman The RX symbol is a medical symbol for a prescription. And you're right--she's not an easy person to transcribe. She uses many abbreviations and code and I think some short-hand symbols as well. The "/" mark is shorthand for "th" or "the" and "/ir" would stand for "their", for example. I have put my readings of these in brackets, for what they're worth. Tom C. We generally don't want to expand abbreviations. Check previously completed pages for guides. -megshu | = the, t = that
