RICHMOND HILL, SURREY.

Dec 3 1904

Dear Dr Wallace,

Is this the John Roberts1 or another? I think you said he was a young man, & I am afraid that this may turn out to be some collateral — but it is evidently the only John Roberts in the Epsom registers between 1837 & 1847.

Yours vy truly | S C Cockerell2 [signature]

I am sending 7/7 to Mr Andrews, & I paid 2/- the other day at Somerset House, making 9/7 to add the total I sent you.

1
Roberts, John (1776-1847). Married Mary O’Hara (1789-1865) in 1811. First cousin once removed of ARW.
2
Cockerell, Sydney Carlyle (1867-1962). British bibliophile and collector of medieval manuscripts. Celebrated Director of the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge 1909-1937.
