With an autograph letter from Sir William Fraser (1816-1898), Scottish historian, genealogist and archivist, to Stirling-Maxwell concerning woodcuts dated 29 November 1870: "Dear Sir, I am favoured with your note and list of missing seals and signatures. I sent to Mr. Constable your letter the same evening, as I could not find here the seal wanted for him. Your list of wants appears formidable, and I will make a further search for all woodcuts &c. You may, however, in the meantime deduct from the 21 signatures missing, the 13 on pp. 560, 561, as these are lithographs not woodcuts. I remain yours very faithfully Wm. Fraser".
