Letter from Howard Kilbride-Jones, Liberton, Edinburgh, telling Low that he will be unable to attend his presentation to the Society of Antiquaries owing to illness, 3 March 1936. He also acknowledges the significance of the finds at Newlands : 'There is apparently no record of two bracers having been found together anywhere in these islands: and this, and the two grooves on the back of the larger bracer, make the find a very unique one indeed, especially since it clears up the mystery of how the strings for tying the bracers on to the wrist, were arranged.'
