Transcription Notes:
Not sure of proper annotation for the note running up the side of the left page. -@mnathan There isn't anything in particular that has been used. [[side insertion]] works as well as anything. I normally use [[side note]] but I think your descriptor is more accurate! -@siobhanleachman
