Transcription Notes:
I used 'underlined in red' syntax when I initially transcribed this page. Whoever came afterwards changed to 'red underlined'. Seems a huge waste of time to make these changes. The instructions are not clear, other than using past tense for the word 'underlined'. If I open a page to edit and the transcriber has used 'red underlined' or 'red underline' I don't change, just make changes to correct other issues I might have seen in review.
