Beskrivning - engelska
Letter to Stolpe in which Webster announces that he has sent "this day per parcel post two specimens likely to suit you, on approval." The exact identity of these artefacts are not specified, but considering the timing one of them could be the casted copper alloy skull of a leopard (inv. no 1903.17.0001), which was later purchased and donated by Erland Nordenskiöld. Webster also mentions that he is about to move from Bicester to a "large house at Streatham Hill, where I trust I shall see you before long."
