Legacy transcription retained without substantive editing; rendered current reference profile comparison is documented in the Phase 10 evidence snapshot.

The current official profile is inherited candidate rank three and renders the second middle initial with lowercase s. Standard capitalization is used canonically while the exact rendered form remains an alias. The profile supplies only July 1863, so month precision is explicit.
