NotesThe majority of the Assent is written by typewriter, however certain details such as the date and precise measurements of the land discussed are handwritten. The date is written in blue ink, and the measurements in black ink. The measurement of ‘One hundred & fifteen feet’ seems to have been a correction written over the original ‘four hundred & fifty six feet’.
