Two documents shows signs of Iron Gall Ink deterioration( Folio 2. Page 55b. Recto and Folio 2. Page 56. Verso). Brown staining from the writing has leached through the paper and in the one page it has also transferred ink and staining to the page on top.
This may be caused by dampness in storage, or conditions in the Huntroyd kitchen.
