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
Surely transcribers can use ' for minute, and " for second instead of [symbol]?
Edited: per instructions replaced symbols with text, corrected typos, added some text missing from transcription, noted inserts, reformatted page notes per instructions, i.e., removed 'end of page' from second page, not required on 2nd page and other changes
