To the Editor Of The Evening Star,
There Is an error in the article copied
from the Baltimore Sun, published in Tues
days Star, connecting the name of Bishop
Satterlee with Sottsrley Hall. the colonial
estate of the Platers of Maryland. Sotterley
Hall and Park in Suffolk. in England, were
certainly in the possession of the Play
tiers, from whom the Maryland family de-
scended, as early as 1470, having been
granted them by Edward w, and confis-
Gated from the Sotterley family, who were
of the Lancaster or losing sides. Though
the Red Rose aaein rose to power, the
Sotterleys failed to regain the estate, but
tombs bearing their arms still exist in St.
Margaret's, the village church. Thus the
connection is much anterior to the wars
of Charles and the parliament; and is a
curious instance Of the persistence of a
tradition which though mistaken in date
must have had foundation In fact.
