many years, but his things were all sold, and where it has 

 gone to now, I cannot tell. 



In cutting a tank for the gasometer a few years since, im- 

 mediately behind the house I lived in, where the stone coffin 

 was found, the workmen came upon a trench filled with 

 human bones. They seemed to have been huddled in in a 

 hurry, and among them I found the blade of a table knife, 

 very much decayed. Within a yard or two of the trench, a 

 skeleton was found about a foot below the surface, and a 

 silver coin of Edward IV. was found under the head. 



I am, dear Sir, 



Yours respectfully, 

 A. MCLAREN. 

 To David Milne, Esq., of Milne Graden.
