Additional Comments:

This letter is in a folder in the John Murray Archive, of correspondents with Prothero with surnames BAI-CRO. All letters are loose. The NLS was, at the time of writing, in the process of recataloguing the John Murray Archive. All MS call numbers should therefore be checked at source.
