This is simply transforming even when I try to type the whole thing out

Ummm.....some develoopment needed here I think. Back to the drawing board.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting. I wonder what she did or how she behaved to be certified as a lunatic.
ReplyDeleteInstead of [ and ], you must use < and > signs, Dave.
ReplyDeleteWow, she was 68 years old! She probably was not well...and then to go to a workhouse!
ReplyDeleteWhat an eye-opening document.
