[TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE:   
As always, every effort is made to mimic the original, both for format and spelling etc,. The limitations of HTML often precludes this. The original type face is not available and the typewriter was clearly the worse for wear. Typed characters are uneven along the line and the impression variable. Bold text does not appear on the original document. but has been used in the transcription to help reading. Confirmation of these points from anyone with access to the original manuscripts would be welcome.
