One of my side hobbies is transcribing documents in the online catalog of the US National Archives under their #CitizenArchivist program.

For instance today I attempted to type up this 1813 Letter of Marque issued by President Madison from the war of 1812. It's fun to get to read these primary sources and contribute a little by transcribing them which makes them more findable.

Don't agree with my transcription... join in and fix it.
Here's the link to the letter: https://catalog.archives.gov/id/81144706
