Transcription Notes:
(In first page) There might be some letters or numbers that get lost in the edge of page as it bends towards middle after the numbers 28+21-79
Also at bottom of page after "on low hill" words are illegible as they bend in towards center on page.
Also on first page: unsure if I am reading "4 correct or if it's 1/4. When written: SE "4 NE or is it 1/4NE ? (It is 1/4 to indicate which quadrant of the section map is referred to--thomasc)
I changed "in [[wayne?]] road" to "in wagon road" in first line of page 1--thomasc
