help with Inventory
« on: Friday 14 April 23 20:02 BST (UK) »
Hello, I could use some assistance in deciphering the two words highlighted in yellow.  It's something 'stock'. And I'm not familiar with the abbreviation they used - usually its 'Item' or 'Itt' or similar but I haven't seen this backwards 3 with a little 'o' before. Isn't backwards 3 supposed to be shorthand for  'th'?

Quick stock (= livestock).

The word at the start of each line is To (it’s a very elaborate capital T, not a backwards 3 or E).

I thought it was Quick but didn't make sense.
Thank you Bookbox!

 Quick in the sense of 'living' .

'the quick & the dead'
'quickening in the womb'
