Read S.A.L. Jany 13th 1803
The letter describes two stones with Roman inscriptions found near Corbridge, Northumberland. The inscriptions are drawn, but no interpretation is offered.
The letter also describes digging up several pillars with slabs laid across them (hypocausts or granaries possibly), pottery, and coins in the area, which seems to be inside the Roman fort.
