Reader’s notes on the scan
- Item 5 has run-on text from following lines due to a transcription error or formatting choice in the prompt response; I am correcting this by parsing only 'Boston' for Item 5 based on the image.
- Correcting Item 5's reading internally: Item 5 text should be 'Boston'.
This page is due to be re-read. Compare free-text fields with the scan.
