noteworthyAs noted at the bottom of one recto, this document is a copy. See manuscript 789307.1 for another copy of the same document. There are several non-contemporary edits made to this document: the date penciled in at the top of one recto; notes made in black ink by an editor, likely 19th-century, that read “No. 16 (E);” a “(+)" that is possibly a library mark on one verso; and the note “no 4” written in pencil on one verso. These notes have not been included in the transcripiton. A small doodle left of the trailer on one verso appears to be contemporary.
