Re: VMs: Alphabet Table on f1r (3 columns)

It says this

PAGE 1r

  Jim Reeds writes [15 Jul 94]: "The erased key on f1r is discussed
  by Brumbaugh. It seems to have 3 vertical columns of letters. The
  leftmost is the ordinary alphabet, lower case italic hand, a
  through z. I could not check for the presence of every letter (I'm
  not sure about j, for instance) but a, b, c, ... o, p, q, r, s,
  ... y, z are pretty clear. Next to those are very spotty frags of
  Voynich letters. I could make out [EVA] <d> next to a, <r> next to c,
  <g> next to y, and one of the gallows letters somewhere near the
  q, r, s range. [...] The 3d column seems to be 1 off from the
  first: italic minuscules, r next to s, and so on. More is visible
  in UV shots than Petersen shows."
