Notes and Questions

On line 1, # 178 is stamped in charcoal grey on the upper left-hand corner of the page.
In line 4, the two dashes after 'Ans' are actually one solid line that is about 1/8 above the bottom of the line. This is the same after all the 'Ans'.
This also occurs in line 11 after the '3'. In line 16 after 'Red'. In line 26 after '$35.'.
In line 4, there is a '/' and a ':' before the last word 'all', which was written over something else.
I am not sure how to use the dialog boxes to convey this.
In line 6, there are two small marks that lie side by side by side under the underlined superscript.
Sometimes there is only 1 mark. This particular mark appears as a single double quotation mark.
These marks resemble periods, single quotation marks, double quotation marks, or even mini dashes. These mark/marks will be present under all underlined or not-underlined superscripts unless otherwise noted.
In line 8, the line after '24 ft' lies on the bottom line and is unbroken.
In line 17, the # '2' overwrites something.
In line 18, the s in the '$' is rotated to 3 and 9 o'clock.
The same occurs in line 26.
In line 22, the line at the end is unbroken.
