Have you had a look at the objects? Expected your report by now.

Particularly interested in whether you can add anything to what N said re. the blk items. Anything useful in tracing recent provenance? Blood, e.g.? Other remains, physical or metaphysical? Thimble seemed promising in that regard, no?

Took possession of another lot today. Will send to Ferrier if you don't have time. Want analysis asap. One item might tempt above the rest: an armillary sphere, silver, self-adjusting, emits smoke when reading is finalised, heavily overlaid with charms--idiosyncratic. Strong suspicion re. previous owner.
