Condition Report: The sheets all have folds consistent with their being folded for enclosing in envelopes. One of the sheets has creases to its upper corners. They all have varying degrees of discolouration and marks to the sheets, some caused by old paperclips. Three of the sheets have scattered fox marks and a couple of them have a single hole punch in the upper corner, probably for filing.
