How Battle Affected the

cannon must have broken loose at

shaky. As the writer attempted to
finish the words were so illegible
that erasures were made, and great
blotches of ink were scattered over
the page, as well as on the adjoining
page.
As the last line of the jurat was
reached the writing grew practically
undecipherable, for II was written
