Additional Comments:
The wax seal from the facing letter in the collection has caused some minor staining to f.92r. The letter was sealed using the ‘Tuck, Fold, and Seal’ method before sending. The wax seal is partially extant on f.93v and has caused some significant damage to the same. There is some ink transfer from the facing page on f.93r.
