New images: Marci letter wax

[Jorge_Stolfi]

it wouldn't really change it that much

I am asking because, in Lisa's photos, there seems to be a mismatch between the wax seals on the letter and the yellowish stains on the inside cover.  The shape and color don't quite match, the angle of the line between the two stains is strange, and their separation seems to be short by a small but significant amount.

Moreover, that sheet of paper lining the cover is quite recent, isn't it?  IIRC, Wilfrid was in the habit of removing the lining of covers, in the hope of finding valuable letters reused as scrap.  And one can see the remnants of the original lining at the bottom, about 2 cm below the edge of the current lining.  No?

All the best, --stolfi
