NOTE:  I have tried to be as accurate as possible in the transcription of this 
document in regard to spellings, names, and initials.  You may find obvious 
misspellings which I may or may not have noted by "sic", as I just sometimes 
found too many.  And, within the same document, you may find different spellings 
for the same name which I made no attempt to discern which was the correct 
spelling.   I recommend, however, that you look at the original document to verify 
all.  If you would like a scan of the original copy, I would be glad to provide 
it to you. Shirley
