Folger-specific note
Stamp: Burnton and Co. 23 cm as housed. Previously bound in a Gaylord pamphlet binder with adhesive tape. Disbound in 2006. The paper was exceedingly brittle and shattered. Paper splitting was attempted after leafcasting and washing, but was not successful. Paper was rejoined without inserting a core, relying simply on the adhesive from the facing and methylcellulose, mended with heat-set tissue, then re-sewn. Residual gelatin caused the mottling.
