Many thanks to Clarissa Parkinson and Frances T for participating in our June challenge, which proved tougher than anticipated! Nonetheless, thanks to their efforts, we have made excellent progress, with a full solution for pages 17 and 19, which continue dictation from Sydney Smith’s ‘I would not live always’, and partial solutions for pages 18 and 20, from an unidentified source.
