On line 1, # '127' is stamped in the color gray on the upper right-hand corner of the page.
In line 3, the line at the end of the line is about 1/8 off the bottom of the line and is unbroken.
This also occurs in lines 7,8,12,14,16,19 twice,22, and 25. These lines can be straight or start straight and slope some and even hook at the end.
In line 5, the words '& answered' 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.
In line 6, 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 superscripts.
In line 12, the 'l' in 'soil' may be an overstrike of another letter.
In line 13, the 'p' in 'pasture' may be an overstrike of another letter.
In line 16, the 'C' in the word 'Cut' strikes through another letter.
In line 18 the writer puts the handle and hook of the question mark down and then puts the period of the question mark in the next space.
