Just picked this up today in a lot. I think this says year 5 10 2 Meiji? How do I get a Gregorian date from this? I found some charts, but I'm...
I would say that all notes are related to a specific service you are paying for, are they not (unless you're just writing a cake recipe on your...
1) You can definitely have more than one key date in a set. I use the terms "big key" if there is one key date that is significantly harder to...
