    The item is a letter from William Stevenson to Nicholas Carlisle, Secretary of the Society of Antiquaries, dated 5 May 1814, from Norwich. Shoeman enclosed the letter from Goddard Johnson (Primeval Antiquities 55.1), and provided a list of the objects from the barrow at Sporle which had accompanied Johnson's letter, and which were to be returned to Johnson after the Society of Antiquaries had viewed them.
