Comments on model transcription
- "The schedule" has been transcribed as two words, despite the clerk running the two together (line 1)
- NOTE: This transcription decision is debatable
- Double "f" of "ffreeman" is reproduced by transcriber (line 2)
- "s" of "pounds" is indistinct, but definitely there (line 2)
- "rcvd" is a common contraction for "received" (line 3), the word is repeated at the end of line 6
- Use of ampersand twice in line four has been reproduced by transcriber (line 4)
- First word in line five is "soe"; observe slight difference in letter formation of the second and third letters in this word; contrast the spelling and letter forms with "so" in line 9 (lines 5 & 9)
- Hard to read words include "voiage" (line 10), though there is an easier to read version of the same word at the end of line 5; and "pence" (lines 3 & 9). In the case of "pence" it could be read carelessly as "pemme", but the context is that of pounds, shillings and pence. Note that "shill" (line 4) is a contraction for "shillings". "remaines" is also a tricky one to read, with the unusual r, and the dot over the "i" being displaced so that "ie" could be read carelessly as "m" (line 11); the reading of "r" in "remaines" is confirmed by the similar letter form in the proceeding word "there" (line 11)
- Note contraction "pformed" for "performed" has been reproduced by transcriber as a contraction (lines 5 & 9)
- Note variability in spelling within a few lines ("soe/so") (lines 5 & 9) and "Greenland/Greeneland" (lines 5 & 10)
- Inconsistent capitalisation of clerk reproduced by transcriber ("Cloathes" (line 4); "cloathes" (line 9)
