In good condition, but the text is very difficult to read.

The text is written on the recto only of each leaf.

This version of Wilcocke's narrative is a revision of MFTP 0019 (MASS 2361) and preserves an earlier state of the text that appears in Masson. Exceptionally, in making this transcription the letterpress copy was edited using the printed version as a guide.
