General Notes
Context unclear. The presens of the verb "to save" on a record roll suggests a summary of a letter or judicial document. It is possible that it could be a report.

Textual Notes
Consider joining with Pl. P. 13461B- P. 23140-6, but this does not work. Fiber to script relationship is incorrect.
