According to the list made by H. Everard on 21 March 1908 the letters were 'given by Mrs Everard Hutton to my cousin Henry Everard of King's Lynn; on his death his sister, Harriet, became possessed of them and on her decease at Exeter Eleanor gave them to Mr Hugh Everard' [conceivably Charles Hugh Everard, c. 1847-1926, of Norfolk, Assistant Master at Eton, 1871-93]. A letter with the signature cut off, dated 26 November 1989 to 'Derrick' [probably Derrick J. Muggleton, a member of the Cambridge Philatelic Society and author of "A postal history of Cambridge" (1970)] says that the writer has been approached by 'an elderly Island widow' with no immediate living family who would like to sell the correspondence. The interest for the writer and recipient of the letter is clearly in the postmarks as is further evidenced by a typescript list of them as items 552 to 573 in an extract from an undated auction catalogue. The photocopies were presented to Peterhouse Library by Dr Richard Anthony Crowther (1942- ), Fellow of Peterhouse, in January 1993. See these items at EVERARD 24 below.
