The title in the margin applies to the whole document so it was transcribed at the bottom. Should this be placed on the first page?
Thanks for the note. I think the way you formatted the transcription is perfect. Many of our letters have these subject titles that were often added by another hand. While it does apply to the whole letter we want to match the original as best as possible, so having it only appear on this page is the best. In our online catalog, the title will be very apparent.
Ok, thank you Thom
