I was about the check that handy-dandy Key, too. Additional Mss numbers at
the British Library are simply sequential, like accession numbers in a
museum (which was its old name) so I'm guessing these items in the
69,000-range were probably acquired *after* the period in which agents of
the VCRP did their work.
