By gum you're right. Can anyone explain why the 111th in the May 4th memo would be superscripted. Even assuming the letterhead was preprinted (as the 111th in the address at the top is not superscripted), I never saw a typewriter (except an electronic one) that could do superscripts. Also the 111 F.L.S. in the prior paragraph left out the th. A strange inconsistency since the typist would have to go to a good deal of trouble to make the superscript (assuming it is even possible, he would at least have had to change type balls) in the second paragraph but not have even bothered in the first.

I know the typewriter my parents had had special character keys for things like 1/2. It seems to me it had a "th" key too - but I don't remember.
