Transcriber's notes
Hi DerekMany thanks for going back and making these corrections. It really helps the moderation process when transcribers take the time to correct their own work.

Many thanks again and happy transcribing. Kate
VERY sorry for this, this is the first time that you've 'pulled' me up about the dittos issue which in my opinion has never been clear - it's clearer now! I'll go over the pages I've already done for this volume & sort them & make sure I get my 'dittos' sorted in future. As far as I can see I;ve now accounted for the dittos in this volume, on the pages that are not locked, DFF 18/05/14
