Transcriber's Notes:
*An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original
recorder,not the transcriber, or is used to call your attention
to additional information in the Transcriber's Notes below:
The original recorder abbreviated differently, sometimes by
raising the last letter above the rest (which was indicated by
^ before the raised letter), and sometimes by giving the first few
letters of the word. He was NOT consistent in their use.
He abbreviated some 3-letter words,and wrote out 8-letter words, etc.
216 The original recorder left her forename blank, his straight
line might have indicated another Margaret.
