- NOTES ON NARA:
- 1. The only thing resembling a smudge, discoloration, interruption, or other defect is at the stroke attachment point on the right side of the “a”, too low to imply an “o” instead, and thus is irrelevant to the apparent misspelling. — 2. The Oxford English Dictionary Online (accessed October 9, 2002) showed no entry for “praeess” or “praess” (the latter sought only on speculation of orthographic reasonableness).

- NOTES ON NARA:
- The comma is faint, and possibly isn’t present, but spacing appears intended to accommodate a comma. An alternative explanation for the visible mark is that it is the beginning of an upstroke for the “b” which comes next, but that is not consistent with other occurrences of an initial “b” in this Amendment and in Amendments II and IX, which do not show such an upstroke commencing much to the left of the principal downstroke in the corresponding letter.
