Physical condition
Foliation: The file is foliated from the front cover to the last page of correspondence, with a pencil number in the top-right corner of each recto. The inside back cover is unfoliated. Condition: Close-cropping of pages during a earlier binding/preservation, has resulted in some words at the edges of the page being truncated. There is also evidence of insect damage on some pages. Neither of these issues affect the legibility or understanding of items in the file.
