Bundle of papers ambassador kept in strongbox, mostly

ESTOP - legal term, hidden word

Estop, hidden in clue.

Thank you!

Try S instead of L for the other

s HE af(e)

I did wonder if that was the answer but wasn't sure about the spelling. Any way, Chris, I am deeply grateful!

Hi mothaddict

50ac should be INKPOTS which will give the S that begins SHEAF.

I had never heard the word ESTOP before but used crosswordquicksolver to key in the combination with the missing characters. Cheating perhaps but often necessary.
