Context and background
Physical description of letter
The original is in the British Library, Folio 3. According to George Linton and Virginia Hanson, the letter was written:
In bright red ink, in a medium sized scrawl on both sides of a single sheet of very heavy rough paper with uneven edges, about 4" X 6" [10.2 X 15.2 cm] in size. The initial "M" at the end does not have the usual "tail." The letter is typical of M's brusque manner, having no salutation or complimentary closing.[1]
