Image No DS_0066_00003_001r: The front cover. The manuscript belongs to me, named Thu Khanan Norkeo. I made this manuscript in a ka mao year. Do not take it to be own, please. There are different words. I think of you like a bird attached to a tree stump. I hope to cuddle you and look at you for a long. I miss you all day and nights. Signed Mom (Monk) Nan Nò.

Other notes:

The manuscript is beautiful with decorations of animals, flowers and houses and trees, covered with a black brown cotton cloth and sewn with a cotton string at the top. There are diagrams for calculating the local calendar. The writing was made with black, blue, green and red inks.
