Additional Comments:
There is some ink transfer from the facing page in the left-hand margin of f.65v. The wax seal is partially extant on f.66v and has caused some damage to the top of the same. There are ink blots close to the area of damage in the upper left-hand corner of f.1r. The MS was letter-locked before sending and features one horizontal and two vertical fold lines.
