Processing Information
Item 1 was previously strung on a piece of tawed leather (?), now item 6, as a file: the file-string holes are in the top left corner of each document. It proved impossible to consult the separate documents without tearing them, so the front knot (reef-knot) was untied and retied after removal of the string. The documents remain in the order in which they were strung.
