a little while I request Myretta's kind assistance in putting up some scans of thse letters from Jo Modart's book of Jane Austen's Manuscript Letters in Facsimile,all will be made clear.

A picture is worth a thousand words, or so they say :-0

Letter 24 has a paragraph written ( upside down)above the saluatation,and has a postscript paragraph written under the addess panel( which woud have been folded and hidden from publlic view.

Letter 25 is crossed,and is terribly hard to read as a consequence,IMHO.

It also has extra paragraphs above the salutation and below the address panel( which, once again, would have been hidden when the letter was folded and sealed.
