Hi, still doing Jumbo.
1a American woman's promise once used as a weapon (10). I think it begins with b and possibly ends with 'word'(promise).
3d Book found in Italian cathedral around start of last month (9).
23d Note written by merchant seaman, one sharing same pad (8)
Am I the last to finish? I've still got about 12 gaps to fill. Perhaps I should have a little sleep and have another go in the morning. Anyway, thanks if anyone can help.
