Notes

Nonstandard manuscript spelling is preserved. The commodity gialla[?] e Natorali, the word preceding ℔150, and the connected price wording li Meto Solo Il preto[?] e la Sile[?]ga remain unresolved. The contracted term Sc.o before the stated total is retained without a separate expansion. The original weight mark ℔ supports the quoted pounds; no conversion is applied. The quantity 150, rate 28 per hundred and amount 42 are retained as written, rather than used to reconstruct unclear words. Paper loss in the heading is distinct from unreadable ink. D. in the full delivery address is left unexpanded.
