This document was one of two but due to the condition of the main document we are unable to show it. It is extremely large and is made up of 4 sheets joined at the bottom by a row of seals. Being written on velum and folded we were not allowed to open it up fully so couldn't copy the contents. We did however manage to copy a plan from the back of one of the sheets. The seperate Indenture document which is in excellent condition is transcribed below.
