As I told you before Mr. John A. Marshall the Architect of the new Westminster Cathedral and the authority on the subject of ancient Marbles is very interested in this collection and may of the specimens which are there have been prepared at his desire to illustrate a lecture which he is giving before a Society of Architects.' Those 'anxious to get something entirely unique in house decoration' should find this a 'special opportunity as it is quite certain that there is no other such collection in the United Kingdom'. He is enclosing 'a few notes which have been written with respect to them i.e. Item Two below'. He concludes by stating that if Langsford can find a buyer he would be pleased to arrange satisfactory terms. John A.

W. Savory the well known Art Dealer & Connoisseur who came across them whilst hunting for Art Treasures in the Ancient City. He found them stowed out of sight in the yard of a stone cutter scarpellino where they had probably been for years perhaps collected centuries ago when such things were more easily obtained & handed down from father to son'. The collection is said to consist of 'actual pieces of ancient work being portions of carved & fluted columns mlded doorways <> & enriched caps & pavements all of which shew the ancient workmanship & which may have at one timem adorned the palace of an Emperor . Amongst the pieces of green & purple porphyry are fair sized lumps in the rough state apparently exactly as they were brought from Egyypt & Greecec by the Romans'. Also present are 'pieces of heavy serpentine called Pietra nefritica a kidney being in the form of a flattened sphere or a large round loaf'. White remains unidentified.
