A couple of possible transcriber's typos:
In the entry for Thursday Jan 7 there is a current typists note in {brackets}.
In the last header on the page the words "Stock Divident" appears yet the entry uses "stock dividend"

We will be editing your version, so if you make an occasional miscalculation, that's OK. If you use common sense in trying to figure out what a word is intended to be, that usually works.
