Hand(s) description
John Burley writes a rapid secretary hand, with some italic letter forms. The sermon notes seem written in some haste, and the hand is often difficult to decipher. Fairly frequent but common use of abbreviations. The top and left margins of the page are ruled, and short horizontal pen strokes divide one item from the next.
