Condition: The item has suffered from pest damage, which has a minor impact on the legibility of some of the text.
Foliation: The foliation sequence commences at the front cover and terminates at the spine, which is loose; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and can be found in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio.
The volume contains the following foliation corrections: 7A, and 7B; 78A, and 78B.
Pagination: An original pagination sequence is also present in the volume, running between ff. 7B-173; these numbers are written in ink, and are located in the top outermost corners of each page.
- Arrangement:
-
The correspondence is arranged loosely in chronological order, starting on 1 January 1811 and finishing on 31 March 1813. Strict chronological order has not always been adhered to and some items are out of order by as much as a month as a result. An index is also included, which runs through the first four folios. It supplies information on whom correspondence is from, to whom it is addressed, its date, starting page, extent (i.e. number of pages) and a brief note of the subject of the letter.
