Transcription Notes:
C.H.M = Clinton Hart Merriam https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinton_Hart_Merriam
Weaverville - I think the last letter is an e as it looks like he ran out of ink on the final stroke of this letter or lifted the pen then came back to forming the letter. I'm also not sure about the 90 - I think he may have started writing 9 and then overwrote that with 10. Also at end of last page it looks like "near mouth" to me. -@siobhanleachman
