https://catalog.archives.gov/OpaAPI/med ... 5_0120.JPGThe entries in the distance column for 3, 4, and 5 AM are illegible due to damage to the log page. The values transcribed are NOT TWYS, but rather a derived
best guess. The values were derived by taking the entry in row 17 showing the total AM distance to be 98.8. The total of the legible entries for the morning was 74.7.
98.8 - 74.7 = 24.1. Entries were transcribed as 8.0, 8.0, and 8.1 so as to total 24.1.
