William S. Ladd page

I have made a substantial addition to the above page. There is an error citation but I cannot for the life of me figure out where I have made it. Would some good soul out there be able to help me figure out were the error is so it can be rectified?

I would really appreciate it. I simply cannot find it.

Would appreciate if anyone can sort me?

I found two ref errors - the first one (which was producing an error message at the top of the article) was due to a couple of stray "ref" tags. Fixed by this edit. The second was producing an error message in the references section, about an undefined ref name "reed". This was due to a stray / in the citation. I fixed it here. Hope that makes sense!
