Description

This bundle of papers was found tied together with red tape, and included a contemporary piece of 'scrap paper' (originally part of a letter) with a list of its contents. The items were not found in the same order as on the list, and indeed one item does not appear to be in the bundle at all. The items have been kept in the original order, rather than reordered to reflect the list.
