Transcription Notes:
Comment from the Transcription Team:
It is more challenging to key in special characters, so our instruction ask you not to worry too much about them, just do the best you can. However, when one is able to produce the special characters, we welcome them. As long as the characters look right, we can leave them in place.
Thank you. Transcription Center Team
Edited: per instructions, added end and start page between pages, replaced symbols with text, corrected Kingate to Kingaite, other formatting changes, mistyped words corrected, etc.

Transcribed in the Journal box over the transcription box so the the transcription looks like the Journal page. Typed lines to show calculations rather than using [[underlined]]. It appears Hall revisited this page one or more time to add notes. It appears that p 13 overlays p 15 and both obscure part of p 18. When 13 & 15 are folded up you can see the top of p 18. When p 14 is folded up you can see the bottom of p 18. Here is plan of attack:
transcribe p 13; (overlying p 15) - done-
transcribe p 14; (overlying p 18) - done-
transcribe p 15; (overlying p 18) - done-
transcribe p 16 (just top part 18 obscured by 15; - done-
transcribe p 17 (just middle 18 obscured by p 15; - done-
transcribe p 18 (just bottom 18 obscured by p 14.
