    (21) Cat:No: 4768. Walsoken.
    Another, practically identical, but not on same
    paper. This perhaps the first of the two.
    looks very like J.S.C. & in both (in his writing)
    the name is spelt 'Walsokern'.
    (22) Cat:No: 4778. "Walsoken"
    [ 6 pencil sketches of Capitals. on 2 sheets 6 1/2 x 3 1/2.
    very full pencil notes. e.g. 6th nail head'.
    'the 8th at No. 8 on S.Side'.
    Walsoken. Eight do. on 3 sheets. Note says
    'Under the town both N & S Sides alike, the
    arches peculiarly elegant & light'. on back
    is a little note of a composition.

    {Sketch} & again. 'Walsoken'.
    all these certainly J.S.C.

    (23) Font, Walsingham. Jan 16. 1822.
    [pencil on cream. 11 x 8 1/2.
    I think this may be H. T again. goodish
    pupil, work from same point of view as
    Cotman's etching of 1812. details being
    Slightly altered.]
    -------------"-------------
    (24) Cat:No:. 3340. "Oxburgh. 9. Sept: '11." 14 x 10
    On rough buff paper, pencil of a Jacobean scene.
    very rapid & summary, but magnificent architecture
    shorthand, & not much more. Only on the left is
    any detail, marked on the back "2/6".
