Reading notes
P. 1 is an inventory card, not evidence for the letter’s date. The date 12 January 1736 was read from the dateline on p. 3. P. 4 is the verso/wrapper, not a separate letter. The provisional inventory of later boundaries is listed here and remains to be verified: pp. 5–6 (letter and verso); pp. 7–8 (letter and wrapper); pp. 9–12 (sequence with internal pagination 6–8, probably a longer text; the relation between the pages and dates requires review); p. 13 (verso); p. 14 (separate letter); pp. 15–17 (letter/continuation and possible verso); p. 18 (separate letter); pp. 19–22 (letter/continuation or enclosure and verso); pp. 23–24 (letter/continuation); pp. 25–27 (letter and verso); pp. 28–29 (two texts/letters—the boundary requires review); p. 30 (separate letter); pp. 31–35 (longer text, final leaf/verso); p. 36 (verso); pp. 37–40 (at least two texts and versos); pp. 41–42 (letter and ending); p. 43 (separate letter); pp. 44–46 (letter and wrapper); pp. 47–50 (letter and wrapper/verso). This later division is provisional, based on page layout, headings, addresses and visible pagination; it is not a full content analysis.
