A fraction written after the 23 on the top tube line has been inked out, leaving plain 23"; the A.K. seat lug answer is likewise scribbled over. The deposit line reads “see 9548” and delivery is promised at 6–8 weeks. The main finish says only “See attached sheet.” — no second sheet survives with this scan in the batch.
