If that is the only instance then I would guess that it is a scanno and
remove the apostrophe. If it is an ellipsis I have never seen an
ellipsis scan like that, but you might want to consider the next
sentence and decide if an ellipsis seems appropriate there.

It may just be a fleck. I was thinking someone might recognize it as a
scanno meant to be something specific, but if not, I'll just delete it
and end with a period.
Thanks,

Hi again--
When there is an apostrophe right before a period at the end of a sentence,
is it supposed to be an ellipsis or just one period with no apostrophe? Or,
is there a reason to have this punctuation?
Thanks so much,
