  1. Ah-ha! Mrs. Elizabeth Sargent!
    I've seen this Elizabeth contraction before. Saving space on paper, I think!

  3. I agree with what you say. I haven't seen that contraction before though
    for Elizabeth. Also the "S" in Sargent is unusual. I know there are forms
    of writing that are hard to decipher and I would not have guessed it to be
    the letter "S".
