| Description | 'Dear Sir I have to acknowledge the receipt of your Note enclosing £35—the balance of the purchase of Mr Hamper's collections relating to Aston. I have spoken to Mr Sharp and he has promised that any articles which may appear belonging to the collection shall be handed over. He recollects the plate of Water Orton & was surprized to find that it was deficient, & he expressed no doubt that it would turn up. Sir Geo Chetwynd bought the Warwickshire, and he made the same promise to me. I am sorry that you should feel disappointment at the purchase, but trust that further researches will tend to your greater satisfaction Yours vy truly, J H Beilby High Street, Oct 1 1831 ' |
