## Notes

- This page continues the court-martial sentence on Capt. Hastens begun on p. 156 (not part of this transcription); "Hastens" is the journal's own spelling throughout, kept as printed (compare "Hastings" as used elsewhere in project stories).

- Superscript contractions in the manuscript as set in print (Cap^tn, Coll, Rig^mt, y^t, S^t) are rendered here with a caret before the raised letters, following this project's existing transcription convention; "Raddow" carries a printed footnote marker "85," reproduced with the footnote text at the foot of the page.

- Original spelling, capitalization and punctuation (including the em dash and missing periods) are kept exactly as printed; "[will]" is the editor's own bracketed insertion in the source text, not added here.

- The page is cut off mid-sentence at the foot ("found one gorge shaw"); continues onto p. 158, not transcribed here.

- No person named Oak, Oake, Oakes or Oaks appears on this page.
