struggled with some of this writing.This is my first page of his handwriting to transcribe and it needs some checking.
I've been able to fill in some of the blanks for you. You'll notice that the writer uses the spelling 'Jery' rather than 'Gery' and he often refers to things happening after 'din'[ner]!
