A second, unknown hand has added six notes to the MS. The first reads ‘à Mr Keate.’ The second is the letter ‘E’. The third is the number ‘109’. The fourth is the date ‘auguste 1773′. The fifth is the number ’27’. The sixth reads ‘faire lire l’imprimé par quelque anglais. voici la minute originale. a l’avant dere ligne n’est ce pas smiling au lieu de siniling.’ There are a number of minor corrections throughout in the form of crossings out and the addition of corrected text superscript.
