Notes and Questions

On line 1, # '133' is stamped in the color charcoal grey on the upper right-hand corner of the page.
In line 5, 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 the last word in the sentence 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, slope some, and even hook at the end. The line at the end of line 4 resembles a Nike swoosh. The lines are drawn after the end of a sentence. Occasionally there will be just one dash, which would not appear in the lines noted here.
In line 12, after 'corn ?', there are about 6 or 7 spaces and then about 1/4 to 1/3 the way below the line there is 'for 20 Cts', which is above the end of the next sentence 'get it done.' I guess this would be an addition above 'get it done.'
In line 25, the words '& other' 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.
