I read that part of the sentence about 20 times and I still haven’t got a clue what it’s supposed to mean.
“Wood” = “would”
These posts are allergic to punctuation. So there also should be a “.” or something after the “would”.
You have to get fluent in misspellings, wrong words, and lack of punctuation to read SovCit. It’s “…like I knew they would; if notes box bankers…”
I mentally added in the spelling and punctuation when I read it, it still doesn’t make sense to me.
What are they attempting to say here?
My guess:
note - a banknote or promissory note
box - like ‘big box store,’ translating to a physical business location
