Reader’s notes on the scan

  • Vessel name 'Korsnaes' is written at the top twice.
  • Item 1 text says 'hour unknown to how found' but it is not clear what 'how found' means in this context.
  • Item 20 amount $350°° is presumably $350.00.
  • The running number 855 appears in the top right corner and again vertically on the left side, which was ignored.

This page is due to be re-read. Compare free-text fields with the scan.
