Notes and Questions

On line 1, # '132 is stamped in the color 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 superscripts.
In line 4, the line after the word 'foreman.' is about 1/8 off the bottom of the line and is unbroken.
This also occurs in lines 5,8,12,16,19,24,27,29 and 31. These lines can be straight or start straight and slope some and even hook at the end. The lines are drawn after the end of a sentence. Occasionally there will be just one dash, in which case it would not appear in the lines noted here.
In line 8, the words 'to the house the' 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. When there is no space it will appear that way in the transcription.
In line 19, the fraction '1/2' has a horizontal line instead of a diagonal one.
In line 22, there is a backward apostrophe with a possible small dot next to it, located
between the 'al' in 'Aggricultural'.
In line 26, the last word 'Convention' is on the page as 'Conven-' with 'tion' written above it.
