A second hand has endorsed the MS as ‘No.17*’ in the upper left-hand corner of p.49, and a provenance note stating that the letter was copied by a secretary of Suard, in the upper right-hand corner of the same. The same hand has also added a bibliographical reference, and a footnote expanding on a matter mentioned in the letter, to the bottom of p.49. The footnote is linked to the main text through the use of a corresponding symbol. The second hand has made additions and corrections throughout in the form of crossings out, the addition of corrected text superscript, the addition of corrected text over the top of incorrect text, and the addition of extra text at the top and bottom of the page. Names in this additional text have been underlined. They have also crossed out the final seven lines added to the MS on p.51.
