Hi, great work on your transcription! I reviewed it and made some minor changes. Using "L.S." is correct as it is abbreviated for "locus sigilli" which means "place of the seal". In some documents a wax seal would be put on top of the LS marking. For our purposes though, we can use the term [seal] instead. Hope this helps a bit. - Monica
