I was wondering if it might be an 'E'. I appreciate you taking the time to give
an opinion.
Thank you,

For another loop and from a lot of transcribing, it appears to me that the
first letter is an E, if you look at the E under it they are identical other
than a skip in the line between the top loop and the middle loop. I believe
it is just a simple case of the enumerator's pen skipping.
