The MS is bound with other letters in the collection in calf.
Additional Comments:
The MS was sealed using the ‘Tuck, Fold, and Seal’ method. There are several small ink blots at the top of f.97r and the wax seal from the previous letter in the collection has caused some staining to the left-hand side of the same. The left-hand side of f.97v has been reinforced with additional paper and tape. A Genevan postage stamp has been stamped over the address on f.98v. The wax seal is partially extant on f.98v and has caused some damage to the same.
