RE: VMs: Ryland 228

Hello

Some - possibly quite a lot? - of what we see as
brown ink may have appeared black when it was written.

Many letters and records in my family archives from the 18th
and early 19th centuries were apparently black when first written -
a family saying often used was "as black as this ink I'm writing
with" - but now they have faded to brown.

Regards

Anthony
