Correcting according to the rules: - "Com.." becomes "Com..." (added a dot) - "FER" becomes "FEB" (corrected spelling) - "Fohrnary" becomes "February" (corrected spelling) - "Instant" becomes "instant" (corrected capitalization) - "caus" and other broken words are not corrected as per rule 7, but "frats-ag" is likely a broken word and should be considered for correction, however, the correct action is to indicate missing or unclear text. - "lo", "B", "L", "M" are not clear; "lo" could be part of a word, and "B", "L", "M" seem out of context or initials. - "Teh" becomes "The" (corrected spelling) - "Pontice ace" is unclear and seems to be a result of OCR errors. Revised output following the rules and correcting only what's unambiguous:
