TAA i.2.3.14

{13^th October}

Note

The only ominous feature is that parts of the second coffin visible
through the linen wrapp covering, show distinct efflorescence
incrusted upon the inlay and surface gold-work and tendency
of swelling here and there. This is certainly disconcerting, as
it suggests at some time the existence of humidity, possibly
from the mummy of the King, wrapped and placed in the
Coffin before being perfectly dry. If this is the case
its preservation will, I fear, not be so good as might
have been hoped for.
