    great lens, I love how people wrote back then, with such style...but it is hard to read and the verbage, or slang of the time is different as well, loved the page...blessed...:)rob

    You are SO good with this stuff...I love how you tell how to save those old pages by copying and using the pages you've copied, with no fear of destroying the originals. This series is going to be the epitome of the Sammy the Squid challenge...wonderful!

    Great information on how to read someone's writing. That can be tricky with "old time" writing. It sounds like you're having a good time with this series of articles!
