The Gregg Group was founded 22 May 2004, prompted by the lack of online shorthand resources. As the primary use for shorthand — business and legal recording — has waned in recent decades, we generally acclaim the skill as a hobby or personal tool. The purpose of the group is to promote the use of Gregg systems of shorthand by providing advice to beginners, support for students, and an association of users of this efficient, attractive, and enjoyable method of writing.
A classic Christmas story by Hans Christian Andersen, transcribed by yours truly in Anniversary Gregg.

Well this was a breeze — perhaps it shows my literary ability when only simple stories are plain!
But I had trouble with:
page 2 col 1 line 2: "… it would do ? for a cradle …"
questions:
page 3 col 1 line 3: is it "drew" or "draw"?
page 3 col 1 line 16: you write "warmed" with a disjoined "t". It read fine. But afterwards I thought I would have written it using "md".
page 4 col 1 4th line up: I think you may have written the "ar" in star a bit flattened (?)
The word you had trouble with is "capitally."
I made some corrections.
“Warmed” is written with the disjoined t in Anniversary, because it is an abbreviated word (same rule as "formed"). In Simplified and later, these endings were joined.
Thanks Carlos.
That I originally learned Simplified still shows up then. And my incomplete knowledge of all brief forms let me down with "capitally".
It was a lovely bitter-sweet tale just right for a Christmas evening.
Indeed. It is a beautiful story. Glad you liked it.
