Gelatin sheet vs. gelatin envelope

DigitalVinyl said:

I found a recipe that includes a white chocolate mousse. However the recipe calls for two "gelatin
sheets". All I could find were envelopes (4 envelopes = 1 oz). Anyone know what the translation is
between sheets and the Knox gelatin envelopes? 1 for 1?

For the sheets I use (King Arthur) the equivalence is five sheets equals one envelope.

After a couple of dead-ends, found this in a cooking Q&A:

"As a rule, four sheets of leaf gelatin are equal to one 1/4-ounce envelope or 1 tablespoon of
granulated gelatin. This is enough to gel 2 cups of liquid"

the white mousse ingredients are as follows:

6 oz. white chocolate 2 oz. butter 1 oz. water 2 gelatin sheets 3 eggs separated 4 oz. cream 3
oz. sugar

Thanks.
