right page is very difficult to read
Thanks for your help! That one is particularly hard. We will definitely have to see if it this particular page is more readable in person. Since the copybooks were made by pressing the wet ink from letters onto thin transparent paper, they can get quite hard. You can always skip anything that is too hard to read. Thanks so much for your work once again.
I had a go at it, but it still has missing bits.
