Format: BP 10, fol. 21 the first item in this workdiary, is a leaf from a folded foolscap sheet, lacking its accompanying leaf. The remaining entries currently on the rectos of fols. 137-8 of BP 26, were originally on two consecutive leaves, only parts of which survive. Of the first, the lower part, containing the whole of one entry and the start of another, has been cut out and is now pasted down as the first item on fol. 137, onto which is also pasted another cut-out fragment, a recopied entry in Bacon's hand, no. 703 from workdiary 21. That it was once the lower part of a page is shown by its catchword, which keys to the start of fol. 138, on which the rest of this entry and the whole of entry 3 appear. This is a part sheet, of which the lower half has been cut away.
