Additional Comments:
The MS was folded using the ‘Tuck, Fold, and Seal’ method. The paper has also been folded to create a left-hand margin on both the recto and verso sides. The wax seal is partially extant on f.142v and has caused some minor damage to the same. There are a series of ink blots across f.142v, and a Genevan postmark has been stamped over the address on the same. There are two pairs of pin holes at the bottom of the MS.
