I believe the date on this document is 1927 rather than 1917 as indicated above?

Why are we being asked to repeat what was asked over the last weekend?

"The wise man knows how little he knows, the foolish man does not". My Grandfather & Father.

"You can’t give kindness away.  It keeps coming back". Mark Twain (?).

Isn't this the same document that people deciphered for you recently?

Different date.....different document in the above link.

However, the picture of the document in the above link was posted in another thread but I don't believe much was written about it.
