In front of the name of Abraham Fran\u00ed\u00a7ois Gamache in the margin, there is a small flourish. I’m not sure if this is a letter of the alphabet or just an embellishment. In any case, I don’t know what the significance of this flourish might be. It doesn’t appear in the margin of any other record in this group.<\/p>\n
