A friend's stories were entrusted to me some time ago, before he died, and I am getting the final draft ready to send to his children as he wanted. For reasons I can't go into here, I am having to retype them all from an earlier draft that includes my editing marks... my friend was always very faithful in following my edits, but although I know he made the corrections, I don't have his last clear copy to send to the children.

What I am looking for is help spotting JUST words that are mis-spelled or make no sense at all, that the spellchecker and my re-read have missed. I'm under a tight deadline-- again, I can't explain why-- so others' eyes on that would be much appreciated.

I will not be able to use any other input, though I know we have some great language aficionados here. I just need another look over the typing. In exchange, I promise you will get to read some lovely stories of times long gone by. I'll post a short one, next post.
