States Transcriber's Notes: * An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not the transcriber, or is used to call your attention to additional information in the Transcriber's Notes below. ? The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read due to quality of the original document. ^ The use of a ^ indicates that the letter/letters following are superscripted. The transcription preserves the original spelling. Although the handwriting was clear, it was at times very fanciful and difficult to transcribe; also the scribe seemed to have used a pen with a wide nib; there was extensive bleeding through the paper.
