Call Number754157
[note (type: abstract): Temperance Hannabal narrates the story of her religious awakening to Occom.][note (type: handwriting): Narrative is written in Occom’s hand, which is clear and legible. As is common with Occom's hand, there are some uncrossed t’s; these have been corrected by the transcriber.][note (type: paper): Small sheet folded in half like a book is in poor condition, with heavy fading, staining and wear that results in some loss of text.][note (type: ink): Dark-brown ink is worn away in places.][note (type: noteworthy): An editor, likely 19th-century, has overwritten Occom's hand on one recto. The assigned year of the manuscript is based on this edit. On two verso, a note has been added in the same hand. The note, which has not been transcribed, reads: “(If common year, 1 Day y Jan. was Thursd. / 1761, 1767, 1778-1 / If leap year.”]
