Additional Comments:
The MS was sealed using the ‘Tuck-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. The wax seal is partially extant on f.98v and has caused some damage to the same.
