I agree. Having read a goodly share of contemporary documents, especially in parish registers, I find the handwriting rather disciplined. The only thing that draws my notice is that the pages have lined margins and the scribe overran them at times - for whatever reason.

“The corrections made to the translation are a match for Elizabeth’s late hand, which was, to put it mildly, idiosyncratic....”
I think the image in the thread is the stuff written by the scribe - yes, very nice!
Hmm. So the Queen was like Travon’s friend. Could write cursive, but couldn’t read it!
