Notes and Questions

On line 1, # '204' is stamped in charcoal grey on the upper left-hand corner of the page.
In line 5, the initial 'A M' are connected by the written line but is spaced. This also occurs in lines
11 - '12 th' & 'are the', 16 - 'a part' & 'w [?]', 20 - '& use', 23 - 'adjourned to meet', 24 - 'Cha s' & 'Brooke s'.
Note: if there was no space between these words - there would be no mention in the notes.
In line 7, the writer uses what could be considered a comma, for a period. This occurs throughout.
The reader will have to determine what is a comma and what is a period. The comma can be straightened or a little backward.
In line 18, something was crossed out around the 'ny' from the word 'many'.
In line 20, the 'ld' in the abbr. 'wld' is elevated about 1/8th above the bottom of the line.
In line 24, there is an upside-down comma on the line after the name 'Brooke s'.
Note: I am not sure that the 's' in 'Brooke s' is actually an 's'. it may just be fancy writing.
