St. Lucia, May, 1851.
96. _Felton._--What has become of the letter said to have been found in
Felton's hat when he stabbed the Duke of Buckingham? Upcott once had it,
but it did not appear in the sale catalogue of his collection.

97. _Date of a Charter._--Having been in the habit of making frequent
consultations to the MSS. in the British Museum respecting the county of
Wilts, I found a charter temp. Henry III., the date of which is given as
"_Thursday next after the day whereon the King sent his daughter into
Sicily_!"
It is now three years since I last saw the original, and having mislaid
my transcript, I quote from memory; but I believe I am correct in my
rendering from the Latin.
Can you, through the medium of your valuable publication, fix with
accuracy this date, as I have not been able to do so.
