Research and responses

Related Documents File - Letter to Tylor from John A. Gibbs, dated 16 April 1900: "... I am staying here with my cousin Henry Martin Gibbs and he has been showing me a collection of Peruvian articles which he made about 25 years ago... They consist for the most part of modern articles such as harness, carved stirrups, saddlery, shawls & ponchos, pottery, maté gourds dit dit, but there are also some ancient pieces of pottery & [illegible word] taken from old graves. Some of the harness and ponchos' are of very great value in their own country... I may mention that you possibly know my cousin's name as having been one of the chief benefactors of Keble College...". The letter seems to indicate that the Peruvian items in the collection were sent per John A. Gibbs. [CF 22/10/2001]
