I understand, it took me a week to transcribe an officer's reimbursement form written by my ancestor.I will but it will take a bit. The typing is small and not very dark. Written in the more flowery language of the day. Slow reading for me but so very interesting. If I start reading it again I won't be able to put it down and my research will go on the back burner.
On the subject of names, I love Orion Perseas and Lyston D (forget what the D was?) Something innovative I hope.
I could have said the same thing in less than half his words, but his penmanship was far prettier than anything I can write.
