- Clerk's handwriting: Wow, quite atrocious in some instances. So much for the beautiful copperplate handwriting we've all heard about. Though it may make for slower going, we very much appreciate your taking the extra time needed to examine the spelling carefully.
- For dates, please use numbers for the day- do not spell them out
