This document was transcribed as close to accurate as possible from a poor copy of the handwritten original. Words and phrases that I could not decypher will be indicated by [?]. This document has been edited for ease of reading. I can't decide for sure whether the name is Heailey or Hailey. Each time the name appears there is either an "e" between the "H" and the "i" or the "H" is finished off with a fancy "Curly Q". Since I received zero results from internet searchs for the name Heailey in the US, I am assuming the name is Hailey.
