I'd like to try one more. Submission will be in late April most likely. 121 Lilah Walker tells an interesting story. If y'all have any guesses what "miassahs" could be, please say. A Google search shows she's the only reference on the entire internet of that word! Mists rising maybe? Giving that kind of intonation unless either you or mleigh have other suggestion.
Thanks.

Could it be "miasma"? (mispronounced)

That would be my guess too based on the context.

I'll go ahead and put you in for this, and see what I can come up with for the mystery word.
Thanks so much!

Thank you!
I've put this in the MW Ready for PL

[BeckyWTX]

Silverquill & MLeigh - I'm certain you are right! (I had never even heard of that word!)
It turns out there's an old medical theory that miasma could cause disease, which matches her comments.

Thank you for your help. Knowing the real word changes the intonation I'll give also.

Well, he certainly liked to talk.

Unsurprisingly, this recording has no issues with it and is most definitely PL OK.

Thanks,

May I do 68 Abraham Jones, 70 Hannah Jones, 78 Billy Abraham Longslaughter, and 79 Louis if no one has already claimed these, of course.

to Becky re: miasma

It was blamed for high fever. Probably Malaria. There was no connection made between mosquitos and malaria.

[BeckyWTX]

Thank you Lynnet and FShort. Malaria - now Lilah Walker's comments really make sense! Appreciate your help.

Hello sir, I just wanted to confirm I still have #68 Abraham Jones as I noticed that it’s still labeled “open” in the magic window.

[Lazz]

Hi, I had asked for 68 Abraham Jones but it still reads as open. I would still like to claim that section. Thank you

Sorry I missed that one.
Getting caught up after a few days away.

You should be all set now.
