Transcription Notes:
The Transcription Center uses the markup ^[[text]] for handwritten text in typed pages, so the Smithsonian Archives has asked volunpeers to use [[insertion]] text [[/insertion]] for any insertions. I've therefore edited. I'm also making markup & text consistent with the previous three field books of Stelfox already transcribed in the TC. -@siobhanleachman
