Ken transcribes into modern type a letter by Shelton dated 1859, in which “boy” is written 𐐒<𐐃𐐆>, “few” as 𐐙<𐐆𐐋>, “truefully” [sic] as 𐐓𐐡<𐐆𐐋>𐐙𐐋𐐢𐐆, and “you” as 𐐏<𐐆𐐋>.
These are all 1859 variants, yes? That would just show that these variants existed (which I think nobody in this discussion has doubted), but not that there was contrasting use. And is that letter hand-written or printed?
