- Research and responses
The heading in the accession book implies, by comparison to other Balfour entries on this and other pages where things have been ascribed to Balfour 'for convenience of donors' index' that this item was definitely donated by Balfour. However, a later entry written next to 1945.11.23, 24 states 'Found unentered' - it is unclear whether this implies all items in this particular Balfour entry [1945.11.20 - 1945.11.35] were found unentered and therefore were probably or possibly rather than definitely donated by Balfour.
