Additional Comments:
The MS was sealed using the ‘Tuck-and-Seal’ method. The wax seal is no longer extant but has caused some damage to f.267v. The paper was also folded to create a left-hand margin on both the recto and verso sides. There is some staining throughout, and several words on f.266r have been smudge, likely due to water damage.

Additions:
A second hand has added a bibliographical reference to the upper left-hand corner of f.266r. A Lyon postmark has been stamped over the address on f.267v, and a second postmark has been drawn over the same.
