Related Documents File - Handwritten note to Balfour from H. Anson, dated 21 March 1899: 'If you would kindly call at 34 Chester Square on Col. Tufnell he will have been advised by me of your coming. The curios are in his house at Wimbledon & he will give you ever facility. The greater [?sic] part of the Collection belonged to Sir Will MacGregor late Governor of British New Guinea, he is in London now and I will ask him to make a note or two for me about some of the things. There is a catalogue but as the books here left to the Revd. Lt. Tufnell and it was included probably in this despatch I cannot get at it until the library is unpacked. i should think Col Tufnell could wait until you return from Italy.' Photocopy of the armourial bearings of Sir William MacGregor, 1847 - 1919, Governor of Newfoundland 1904 - 1909. [MOB 9/10/2001]
