On line 1, # '166' is stamped in charcoal grey om the upper left -hand corner of the page.
In line 3, there are two small marks that lie side by side by side under the superscript.
Sometimes there is only 1 mark. This particular mark is a single double quotation mark.
These marks resemble periods, single quotation marks, double quotation marks, or even mini dashes. These marks will be present under all underlined or not-underlined superscripts unless otherwise noted.
In line 11, the line midsentence is unbroken.
In line 25, the writer put what resembled a smallish backslash before the letter '0' in the word 'one'.
Also before the # '3' in '30', which is the first time I have come across this mark before a number.
In previous pages, a writer has put similar marks before the 'o' in the words 'of', 'our', and 'old'.
This is the same mark the writer uses to start the letter 'a', the difference being the mark sometimes flows into the 'a' but so far, is always separated from the o. Not sure how the writer came to use this technique. I will not be using the marks before the c's, o's, or a's nor noting them from here forward. Other letters may have the same mark before them.
In line 25, the last number, '1/8', the line is horizontal, not diagonal.
