[Pork shipments: January 21, 1861 - March? 1862]

Where author uses quotation marks to indicate text (such as month) is same as above, should I write in the word copied or use quotation marks? If I use quotation marks, I think I would need to align the quotation mark below the repeated word above them, but I don't know how to do that, as using tabs doesn't seem to work. Please assist.

Also, I can't figure out how to tab to set somewhat columnar items below each other.

Quotation marks are perfect. I'll try to re-format this using tables and we'll see if that makes sense for this page.

On the first line's "illegible mark, poss. indicating line overrun of the "14w" below the line", this is part of JWG's abbreviation for pounds, which is halfway between the modern "lb" and the modern "#" -- it often looks like a rounded "w" with a line over it.

I've taken a pass at table formatting. I'm not entirely pleased with the results, however.
