Where in Petersburg I've this year (1868)
I saw in the Library (of which brother
Warner is Librarian) in Burke's
Landed gentry of England,
the genealogy of the Frere
family, which corresponded with
about the number & sex of
the children & some of the names referred to in
Mrs Frere's letter to Grand
Mother. These Freres though
very distant are I believe nevertheless
our relatives,

who died on 3rd Nov-1868
at 28 Cambridge=terrace,
Hyde Park.
London, England.
I believe that this must have been
a son or grandson of Lady Jane Frere
of Gould Square London, who wrote in
1795 or 99 to Grand Mother Baylor
at New Market. The original letter
was in the possession of the Clayton
family & of which letter I took
several copies.
