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).
