From Charles Roach Smith   23 November 1847

My dear Sir,

I thank you for the liberal supply of stamps which are more than were due. You must not pay for the next N. ^o which I am at work upon. When you are quite at yo leisure I should like to assist to do something to record the Felixstowe discoveries. Either that place or S. ^t Peters-on-the-wall (close to Bradwell-juxta-mare,) must have been the Othona of the Notitia, I think the former, tho’ Bede speaks of Ythancester (sounding vastly like Othonacester) in the river Pant.

I ordered a Morning Herald to be sent you last week to give you another instance of the destruction of Roman tessellated pavements &c by the ‘city authorities’, & the curious evidence adduced by M. ^r Price. I hope you received the paper & read the report.

I remain, my dear Sir, | yours respectfully, | C Roach Smith

[P.S.] We have just published some of M. ^r Neville’s discoveries in our Journal.
