Transcription Notes:
I changed "Temps" to "Tempt". I think the final letter is the uncrossed terminal t common in 19th and early 20th century cursive handwriting. Compare to the final t in the word "not" in the phrase "R.R. Co not running cars". I also added the [[Dittos for: xxx]] used in other projects.--thomasc
