Letter from X to Y, DATE

Short Summary of Letter

​If we have a Youtube performance, embed the link to the right.

For the letter itself, I'd like a split screen content area, where each side could scroll independently.  The scan of the letter (image files, usually multiple images, which I would like arranged vertically) will be on the left.  The left side should have the ability to zoom in as far as the individual words/letters (for paleographical analysis).  The right side will be the transcription.  The right side will need the ability to add textual notes (either end-notes, hover-over notes, or some other method).  I would also like the ability to place a form/email contact content area in the "transcription" column, inviting people to submit corrections of transcribed letters and/or transcriptions of un-transcribed letters.

TRANSCRIPTION:
 
[Hand-written Header]
 
Paris: April 8th
1862
 
Dear Ad--
 
I wrote you
some weeks ago in reply
to yours from Port Royal;
you told me to address you
as on the staff of [UNSURE: “Genl”?]
Sherman (or else I was
angry when I read it)--
but I now perceive you are
with Hunter; the letter
will [UNSURE: “doubtly”?] not reach
you—so I’ll bother you
with another (that’s [UNSURE]
Irish, isn’t it?)
 
You have been distinguishing
yourself, and I’m heartily
glad of it--[UNSURE of three words here] in
the same style; can you under-
stand so much slang?
“Now art thou my lieutenant”
 
 

"Neque enim is verus est habendus orator, qui bene scit dicere, nisi et dicere audeat."
 “No one who knows how to speak well can be considered a true orator unless he also dares to speak out.”             
Lorenzo Valla,   De falso credita et ementita Constantini donatione   1440
