Additional Comments:
The letter was sealed using the ‘Tuck, Fold, and Seal’ method. The wax seal on the previous letter in the collection has caused some staining to the left-hand margin of f.95r. The wax seal is partially extant on f.96v and has caused some damage to the same. There are a series of ink splatters across f.96v.
