This is placed at the back of the correspondence.Physical description: Foliation: the foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the front cover with 1, and terminates at the inside back cover with 389; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio.
