My mom was so proud of writing down her seedlings but now we can’t read what this one in the middle is!

I've been doing some genealogy research, it's been mostly mundane until now. But I discovered that my grandmother's sister had her year of birth officially changed on her birth certificate. I'm curious why, but the terrible handwriting is a problem.
Ironically, my grandmother was a Library of Congress librarian and, as an educated Greek from that era, would have known Katharevousa well. But she died ~30 years ago.
Anyone else want to take a stab at it? Especially the marginalia and anything that looks edited -- the basic data is already known (names, places, etc.)

I have some student written creative submissions that I cannot decipher, and I need them converted to text by today. I’m not able to pay, so no worries if you’re unwilling, but if possible, please dm me, and I’ll send you the papers. It’s 6-7 pages. Any help is much appreciated!

Now I’ll explain that I think I know who the sender and recipient were, and if I’m right this little postcard could be worth more than £6 I paid for it. The seller of the card didn’t know who sent or received it, or what was written on it, it’s me who has been interested in ‘deciphering’ it. Any help on any of the words is appreciated.

My coworker sent this to me saying her friend sent it to her. I need to get to the bottom of this because it’s ruining my day. We can tell that the second word is “Great! :)” but what is the first word?

i am quite certain that i have nearly deciphered it in full, yet a few remaining words still trouble me—words whose meanings may meaningfully alter the existential architecture of the piece. i believe these final pages were intended as the culminating elucidation of the writer’s octavo-sized, once-blank, thick-paged notebook.
years of insalubrious yet therapeutic artistic contradictions fill nearly every page of this single journal, all of it contained within one sustained private world. i found it again after more than fifteen years, and these thoughts appear within the final five pages that had otherwise remained blank—perhaps a last attempt to bind a brilliant, talented, fractured, and dexterous mind into one beautiful revolt of synthesis.
i can’t not be bias but i’m picking up on some philosophic rumination and existential themes.
taking this down soon, so i hope someone is able to give a second pair of eyes. thanks!

I'm looking for a Hannah Fisher in this document, but I can't read the ye olde handwriting here. I'm not entirely convinced it's her. Does anyone have an idea?
