Sanford Almy for the First District.
Amasa Gray for the First District.
Clark Wilborn for the First District.
Peleg Bailey for the First District.

In a document financial information was recorded in rows. Leo sometimes put the information in a table format, sometimes not. The author used “ ” to indicate when data was the same as above. Leo transcribed these same marks three different ways:
Thank you for this very helpful feedback! There are probably a variety of transcription conventions for ditto marks in the training data, so this is something that we’ll have to clean up to make sure it appears consistently.
