[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Cataloged note field

Hi Noah,

Thanks for getting back to me. I should've clarified that though we're
currently running 1.5.2, we used the plugin to migrate to 1.4.2 first.
Sorry for any confusion.

Our ArchivesSpace instance maps cataloged notes to events, but only
partially. The events include the date accessioned and the linked record,
but not the note itself. I wonder if this is an issue with the Archivists'
Toolkit migration plugin. I'll have a look at the source code and see if
anything looks awry.

Adam
