Additional Comments:
There is a large ink stain across the bottom of the MS that obscures some of the text of the letter. The ink here has caused some corrosion of the paper, resulting in tears. Some of the ink from another document has transferred onto the left-hand side of f.211r. There are several small ink blots across the right-hand side of f.211v.
