Condition report
The seal is cracked and re-glued in part but not recent, with some loss to the edges, the indenture is in good order.
The writing is not clear but based on research seems to refer to Lord Hawkesbury who, on the day before the document was signed, became the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster.
