- The comma is faint, and possibly isn’t present, but spacing appears intended to accommodate a comma. An alternative explanation for the visible mark is that it is the beginning of an upstroke for the “b” which comes next, but that is not consistent with other occurrences of an initial “b” in this Amendment and in Amendments II and IX, which do not show such an upstroke commencing much to the left of the principal downstroke in the corresponding letter.
