LMTaylor	I think the "whit a packet / Sig. M. S. Elliott" may be meant to be a note in English on the outside of the letter meaning "with a packet / [which should be signed for by] Mr. S. Elliott" -- in the letter he says he is sending 50 preserved plants.	(seq. 1)	Elliott, Stephen, 1771-1830. Stephen Elliott papers, 1791- approximately 1947. Letter from W.C.

Stephen	I have separated the two interleaved descriptions for clarity, putting the older one first. As there is no clear distinction, or consistency, between dots and commas, I have interpreted dots as commas where it seems appropriate. In the descripti...	(seq. 3)	Elliott, Stephen, 1771-1830.

Judy Warnement	You can can create columns by using the "\|" key. We use the "em dash" [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dash] rather than the dash . You can check plant names in IPNI.org, Tropicos.org, gbif.org, or via Google. Good luck!	(seq. 33)	Elliott, Stephen, 1771-1830. Stephen Elliott papers, 1791- approximately 1947.

mkstewart	Please could you tell me how to find more space in which to finish transcribing this list. I am also still not sure if what I have done in making 2 columns is helpful or not? It is a densely packed page in the original! Thank you.	(seq. 33)	Elliott, Stephen, 1771-1830. Stephen Elliott papers, 1791- approximately 1947. Plant lists. gra00020.

dcastronovo	We are transcribing as we see things on the page so the ditto marks should be included. One of our volunteers went in and added the ditto marks.

mkstewart	This is my first attempt after a long absence. I hope you can forgive inevitable errors of execution. I have a query about the author's use of ditto marks, which I have shown with ~~~~~~. Should I have left them out? or used " " ? or put i...	(seq. 6)	Elliott, Stephen, 1771-1830. Stephen Elliott papers, 1791- approximately 1947. Plant lists. gra00020.

crobson	Thanks for your input--it got me to rethink the translation. I checked some old French dictionaries and amicable isn't in any of them. I did find amiable and amical. So I changed it to amicales and kept the brackets and a question mark because I'm...	(seq. 2)	Elliott, Stephen, 1771-1830. Stephen Elliott papers, 1791- approximately 1947.
