Transcription Notes:
The Transcription Center uses the markup ^[[text]] to indicate hand written text in typed pages. I've therefore edited the 1928 insertions w. the Smithsonian Archives prefered markup of [[insertion]]. Also edited spelling error. -@siobhanleachman Works for me. I'll follow the same distinction. -thomasc changed "find" to "fine" in two places. -thomasc
