On line 1,# '128' is stamped in the color charcoal grey on the upper left-hand corner of the page.
In line 3, 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 6, in the word 'secretary', the 're' is not really recognizable because it is jumbled up with a couple of other unrecognizable letters. In the word 'prevented' the letters 'en' are deliberately smudged out leaving no letters discernable with what looks like a snake coming out of the middle of the mess.
In line 11, the words '& Arthur' 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 12, 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 17,19,22 and 31. These lines can be straight or start straight and slope some and even hook at the end.
