Technical note
  • This four page manuscript has significant water damage and wear from being stored folded. It was unfolded and placed under slightly raised glass for three days but still proved difficultto work with.Due to the fragility, we were hesitant to further unfold and compress the item under glass.There are areas that are unreadable due to shadows and/or folds. After consulting the archivist, the decision was made to scan only the front page.Scanned on Betterlight/TTI at 600 dpi TIFF (1/15; 230; bent5 tone; height 900) by PD. Metadata by KD.
