Creased from old folds, folds lightly foxed, closed split to central left hand side fold, a couple of tiny holes catching one or two letters, but with no loss of sense, one fold catches text leading to some difficulty reading one line

“Choirs of Charity Children became a feature of London parish church music in the 18th century. From 1704 to 1877 they combined for an annual benefit concert and the impression of massed voices numbering in the thousands was remarked on by visitors including William Blake, Joseph Haydn and Hector Berlioz” (Wikipedia)
