Transcription Notes:
Transcribed in the Journal box over the transcription box mode so the the transcription looks like the Journal page. Typed lines to show calculations rather than using [[underlined]]. Consulted Hall's book for some names pp 454ff. I wonder if the series of numbers in half parenthisis are "Sledge Log" throws Hall used to measure overland sledge journeys? In this time period Hall was on a solitary dog-sled trip.
