On line 1, The # '104' is stamped in charcoal grey on the upper left-hand corner of the page.
On line 2, the # '2' starts the line. It is half-sized and starts at the top of the line and ends in the middle of the line.
The transcribed lines 29,30,31, are an expanded version of line 29 from the text. I do not have the knowledge to use transcription tools, if there are any, to do this any other way.
Line 29, under the # '12' from line 28, has a two-space solid line at the top of the line, and the # 235 (half-size numbers), starting on the line and arcing to half line.
Line 29, under the # '15' from line 29, has a five-space solid line at the top of the line, and the # 350
(half-size numbers). The # 235 is under the # 350. All three, the line and the numbers all slant together diagonally from the mid-bottom of the line to the top of the line, with the line actually crossing half way into line 28.
Line 32 of the transcription is actually line 30 of the text.
Line 33 of the transcription is actually line 31 of the text.
As an aside, the number for the first column of acres is actually 236, not the writer's '235'.
I think the writer missed the 1/2 acres.
