Looks like a simple, folded, 4pp Application.
I may not type the whole thing, but as the Image is done, that left side on the 1st image would have been the final pg of the Application. That to the right, would be the 1st pg, or 'cover' of the Application. I will type it out in order of the Application itself, not strictly from left to right, based on current presentation.
Format is not kept exact;
Not going to type every word on the whole thing. There might be typos.
I might quit before ;) the back is finished, or ignore a few things/people at my discretion (:
