Letter 59 dated 30 May 1828 in 'Correspondence, Chiefly Mr Duncan's' (AMS 15) is from Lieutenant N.J. Cole (HMS Oryx, Portsmouth), so I think it is reasonable to assume that he is the Lieut. Cole recorded as the donor of a number of items transferred from the Ashmolean to the PRM in 1886. [JC 1 11 2012]
