Notes and Questions

On line 1, the # '119' is stamped in the color charcoal grey on the upper right-hand corner of the page.
In line 2, this writer will occasionally continue the end of one word or symbol into the next word.
An example in this line is '&Locusts'. In this example, the writer does not leave a space between '&'
and 'Locusts' so I do not either. In other instances of this occurring the writer does have a space between the symbol/word. In this case, I will leave a space also, and therefore someone reading the transcription will not know that the symbols/words are written connected/unbroken.
In line 2, there is what appears to be a single double quotation mark, on the line, under the superscript 'st'. This will be the same for the 10 remaining superscripts following question #s.
In line 3, the writer adds a line after the period at the end of the sentence. This line is one-quarter of the way above the bottom of the line and is unbroken. This also occurs in lines 4,6,9,10,11,14,17,19,21,25 and 29. The line varies being off the bottom of the line from 1/8 to 1/3.
They are all unbroken. The line in line 9 curves to appear like an upside-down smiley face.
The line in line 29 is the oldest appearance of what appears to be the Nike 'swoosh'!
In line 15, the last words of the line in the transcription are the dialog box "added" - '[?] to feed'.
'[?]to feed' is placed above 'long enough', the last two words on the written line. It is hard to tell if
'[?] to feed was inserted 'after-the-fact'. A case could be made that 'just long enough' & '[?] to feed',
were all added after the fact, due to the change in ink thickness.
In line 24, the word at the end, 'binder' appears as if someone may have tried to erase it.
