Item is stored with IBB collection, Misc. papers, personal, box 1 of 16. As much of this collection has come from Balfour's family, the Aglens, it seems appropriate to incorporate this into this collection as an accrual when it is catalogued.

Permission would be required from RBGE and Balfour's family - to be clarified.
