I agree. In short, those only appear to be f's if you aren't looking closely. They were clearly read as s's back in the period, and with a little experience you will see that they are s's today. So you shouldn't transcribe them as f's. -FER --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ NavList message boards: www.fer3.com/arc Or post by email to: NavList@fer3.com To , email NavList+@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
