Can any of your readers tell me where this _Livre des Acconts pour
Chevalier Jean Francklyn en son_ [sic] _Maison au Wilsden_ now is? When the
extracts were published in the _Archæologia_, it was said to be in the
possession of the late Sir John Chardin Musgrave, Bart. I have applied to
the present Sir George Musgrave, and also to George Musgrave, Esq., of
Gordon Square, and Bedfordshire, who is descended from Sir Christopher
Musgrave, who married to his second wife a daughter of Sir George
Francklyn; but neither can give me any tidings of this MS.
