One folio 223 x 170 mm with a writing space of 115 x 160 mm with 12 lines. Written by one person which may have been De Ramezay but certainly signed by him in black ink in late 17th century cursive script. There is no ruling. A piece measuring 45 x 35 mm has been cut away from top left corner. This has been repaired with contemporary paper.
Creases indicate was once folded in four.
In bottom left corner is a perfectly preserved red wax seal impressed with Ramezay's arms. This is the only one of his known to have survived. 3 Rivi res le 16 octobre 1693. These records are available to this day. Thus modern day Quebec having four centuries of vital statistics virtually complete, leads the world in this regard.
