Notes

The date is approximated by adding the 2 characters for "1" to the 22. Due to smudged and uncertain letters in the first name found at the beginning of line 2, there are several possibilities for how the name might be read. See A1.6, 19 for additional information on the other names. The commodity, wheat, appears 6 or 7 other times in the dossier.
