Wilkinson Esq., 2pp., on headed paper, 128 x 204mm., 19th February 1884, "I have a novelty in the shape of a "Mummy" of a sailor supposed to have died a century & a half ago & discovered on the east coast of Africa. It is in a perfect state...the teeth are still white & sound & the hair still curls on the head. There is nothing at all repulsive about this mummy but is a most extraordinary specimen & possesses great interest. Should be pleased to arrange with you to exhibit it in your aquarium...", docketed in another hand to head, faint folds.
