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 page and start page, spaces between underlined and strikethrough text, removed symbols and replaced with text per instructions, edited and corrected some words Transcribed in the Journal box over the transcription box mode so that the transcription looks as much like the Journal page as possible. Typed lines to show calculations rather than using [[underlined]].
