Just a quick refresher, our transcription strives to be great but is still not fool proof.  If you spot an error or something that looks wrong, please drop us a comment and let us know and we will review it again.  As we cover writing from 100 years ago, it sometimes becomes difficult to spot an error created now from one that was borderline then.  In the meantime, we’ll try not to pull the roller shades down over our own eyes . . .
