DATE RECEIVED reads only “25 April” — no year appears anywhere on the sheet, so none is given here. Two telephone numbers, each against a first name, are written diagonally across the lower half of the sheet. The lugs entry is read as “Cast” from an abbreviated hand and the rack note as “SX1 Expedition Blackburn”; both readings are uncertain. Delivery promised 6 weeks, deposit received.
