| Content: | Two drawings (section and side) of a bronze dagger with a note next to it explaining that it was dredged up from the Thames at Wallingford Bridge and giving a brief description and measurements of it. Beneath the drawings is a transcript of a note by Mr T.H. Powell, dated 1910: 'In a letter from Mr W. R.
