On line 1, # '123' is stamped in the color charcoal grey on the upper right-hand corner of the page.
In line 2, there are two small marks that lie side by side on the line under the superscript.
These marks resemble periods, single quotation marks, double quotation marks, or even mini dashes, for the most part.
These marks will be present under all 9 questions superscripts, and the date at the end.
In line 5, there is a line going across what I am pretty sure is an 'l' in the abbr. 'lbs'.
In line 7, the line after 'present' is about 1/8 off the bottom of the line and is unbroken.
This also occurs on lines 11,15,17,19,21,22,25 and 29. These lines can be straight or start straight and slope some and even hook at the end.
In line 13, the words '& buy' are connected by pen but separated by space. There are usually several instances of words being connected but separated in this writer's writings. When there is space between them I will not make any further note of the connectivity.
