Additional Comments:
The paper features one vertical and two horizontal fold lines. There are several small holes along these fold lines. The letter is very dirty and stained throughout. There is a tear to the left-hand side of f.1r. F.1v features numerous small ink blots, suggesting that the paper had been placed ontop of another document in which the ink had not yet fully dried.
