I cannot show deleted text in the table format. Any suggestions?
I've used the HTML strike tag to represent the deleted text I could see. Take a look and let me know if I got all of the instances of deletion you saw.
Also, thanks so much for your work on this page, bringing to light a possible surname for Henry. Do you read the third-to-last line as "Henry Washington owes 59ct"? If so, and if that refers to "my Henry", that's the first time I've seen a surname for Henry.
Many thanks - I agree that I read the name as Henry Washington and am very glad that is a useful piece of information. I have amended my wild guess at 'Lymly' to 'Lynchg.' in other places it occurs. I have also now read what I previously thought was 'by' to 'big', which means there are refs. to 'little Henry' and 'big Henry'. Does this make sense to you? Something puzzling: although this section of the document (fifth-to-last line) appears in the transcript, it doesn't occur in the preview.
My suspicion is that Big Henry is Little Henry's father. That's just a hypothesis, but other mentions of them together might confirm it.
I'm not able to reproduce the preview vs. transcript problem you describe. Does it still happen?
This is the line that seems to be missing when I switch from 'edit' to 'preview'. It is the 1st line following the final table: 'Little Henry Owes me 57 c. Big Henrys acct'
Big Henry is indeed Little Henry's father.
