HS 2371 - Letter from George Williamson of G.J. & W.H. Williamson, Queenborough Oyster Fishery, Kent 1865
“I am sorry we have made such a job of the turtles but we cannot help it now so you must make flower pots for your garden of the Backs of them. I was told they would live in salt water and that they fed on the insects in the water.” The Williamsons held a 21 year lease from the Duke of Norfolk and George’s brother is about to inspect the Duke of Sutherland’s Oyster grounds in Scotland. Their offices were at 98 & 122 Lower Thames Street, London. Good condition, creased
