Transcription Notes:
[[This appears to be a sheet of white paper sewn onto, overlaying and obscuring a journal page (67?) with an image and writing beneath. The page contains a complex Traverse Table with various side notes in different colored inks. The Table is in black (fading to dark brown) ink. Will transcribe the Table first, and then transcribe the notes below.]] Based on the fragment of an image on a journal page above the top of the sheet, it appears that this page is sewn over page 67, which appears in full. You can see the thread attaching page 66 at the bottom of page 67.
