Our first group milestone fell on Tuesday (2\/23) of this week and it stated that we would have all the Slaughter and Murray letters as well as their transcriptions scanned.\u00a0 We successfully completed all the scanning, but we do still have 3-4 of Murray’s letters left to transcribe because we thought the transcriptions of all the documents had been provided by the National Park Service (NPS).\u00a0 This issue just recently came up and I emailed Luisa Dispenzirie.\u00a0 It was not known until this morning that a few letters had actually not been transcribed.\u00a0 Nonetheless, this can easily be corrected and the transcriptions completed quickly as the letters themselves are fairly short.\u00a0 Another issue with the letters and transcriptions is that 2-3 of them seem to have catalog numbers penciled on them that do not match the spreadsheet we received from the NPS.\u00a0 But Suzanne Chase said not to worry about this because cataloging errors are always common and usually an easy fix.\u00a0 The next task with the letters is to read through them all, but this milestone does not come for a couple weeks yet.<\/p>\n
The next milestone falls on March 4, which is next Friday.\u00a0 By that day, Breck and I will have visited and filmed Slaughter’s grave in the Confederate Cemetery downtown as well as Murray’s belongings on display at the Fredericksburg Visitor Center for the introductory video to be placed on our website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-419","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.mcclurken.org\/adh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/419","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.mcclurken.org\/adh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.mcclurken.org\/adh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.mcclurken.org\/adh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.mcclurken.org\/adh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=419"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/courses.mcclurken.org\/adh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/419\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":420,"href":"https:\/\/courses.mcclurken.org\/adh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/419\/revisions\/420"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.mcclurken.org\/adh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=419"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.mcclurken.org\/adh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=419"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.mcclurken.org\/adh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=419"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
