2/ Handwritten photocopied letter to Mr. Greig from Mary G.B. Howitt dated 09/01/1914 confirming that Mr. Turnbull’s medallion is indeed of Edith Mary Howitt (2 pages).
3/ Photo copied typed correspondence from Helen Tyzack dated 08/08/1980, from the Australian National Gallery, Canberra, requesting information about Thomas Woolner’s medallions either bronze or plaster.
