We’ll never know what the document was, of course, because it will have been paper but it’s fascinating all the same.

Well, not paper. Most likely vellum or possibly papyrus depending on when.

At one of the forts along Hadrian's Wall, they found a lot of letters on wooden tablets which had somehow survived.

Carlisle is near the western end of Hadrian's Wall. It was also the birthplace of Woodrow Wilson's mother.
