Reader’s notes on the scan
- Item 3: penciled 'Net 8' in label column.
- Item 5 text is overwritten and difficult to read.
- Item 14 has a dollar sign before the amount.
Automated checks couldn’t confirm some values in the transcribed text. Fields marked Check scan are worth comparing with the scan, which is the authority.
