The table gives details of the traveller's name, reason for travel, place of origin, and intended destination.1 volume (223 folios)The volume is in rough chronological order from the front of the file to the back.Foliation: the main foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the front cover with 1, and terminates at the inside back cover with 225; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio. An additional mixed foliation/pagination sequence is present in parallel between ff 35-222; these numbers are written in red pen, and are not circled. A previous foliation sequence between ff 6-222, which is also written in pencil and circled, has been superseded and therefore crossed out.
