In addition to summarising the negotiations relating to each line and the agreements that were reached, each section records the overall cost of each line, and, where applicable, the date of completion.Physical description: Foliation: the foliation sequence for this description commences at f 5, and terminates at f 6, as it is part of a larger physical volume; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio.
