Transcriber’s Notes:
Spelling and puntuation were changed only where the error appears
to be a printing error. Capitalization and punctuation in the
Receipts section is inconsistent, and was retained as printed.
The remaining corrected punctuation changes are too numerous to
list; the others are as follows:
For consistency, “Jessie” changed to “Jesse” on page 345 (As Jesse and
Jo came up) and page 346 (or Jesse, who wasn't afraid).
