Dear Sir : With reference to the gun, a few pieces of China, and a 

 few other articles of a miscellaneous nature, whicli are mentioned in the 

 schedule of property formerly belonging to Mr. Smithson, (of which sched- 

 ule we furnished to you a copy,) and which articles do not now appear 

 to be amongst the property lately under the charge of Messrs. Deacon, 

 we beg to state that the schedule in question was a schedule prepared at 

 Ihe time of Mr. Smithson's death, now several years back, and that we 

 have no doubt that the articles (whicli appear to have been such as 

 would be used personally by Mr. Smithson) were handed to Mr. Hun- 

 gerford, who, indeed, had he thought fit to apply for them, would, under 

 the direction of the court, have obtained possession of all the property 

 lodged with Messrs. Deacon, and wiiich is now handed over to you as 

 representaiive of the United States. 



We are, dear sir, your very obedient servants, 



CLARKE, FYNMORE, & FLADGATE. 



Richard Rush, Esq.
