Transcription Notes:
(@AntelopeWest) The several slips laid in on page 476 are individually on pages 4-11, following. Page 12 is this page (475 and 476) without the laid-in slips. I have transcribed much of page 475 and noted where to find the transcriptions for the laid-in material and for page 476. (@siobhanleachman) Hi Jon! Managed to work out a few more [[?]] (hopefully!) and again have amended markup for consistency. In previous projects TC has asked us to transcribe what can be deciphered on the bottom page and have markup about text obscured by notes and notes themselves. I normally transcribe in line with the future images. Hope you don't mind the correction! Have also copy and pasted corrects into page 12 to make both transcriptions consistent.
