Uncontrolled note

Signatures from DFo. DFoNote DJL 2004.02.19: can't tell from m'film whether L copy is missing final leaf verso text or it wasn't filmed. Is clearly not a different setting. Suggest verify final leaf with CSmH; either a variant, L copy is imperfect; or L copy perfect but film imperfect. DFONOTE blg last leaf is not blank, has text on verso: "An abreviate of the answer." etc, ending: "Finis." FOREPLY aec: Filmed copy with "Finis." on p.5 which is headed "Postscript." and includes a paragraph stating the letter is not a Puritan forgery. The following leaf appears to be filmed and blank on both sides. Report or variant?
