Notes

Read at maximum viewer zoom (nine steps), left page, entry 10. The burial day is a hooked 4 (the draft of 12 October read 2). Entry 11 begins "Halle am 3 May": the entries run by death date, so a burial on 4 May for entry 10 fits. 4 May 1783 was a Sunday. Grade: STATED for the entry; the burial day 4 PROBABLE.
