MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS', LETTERS COME TO U. S.
American Also Said to Have Acquired Epistles Written by James I.
A London newspaper reports that a collection of letters of Mary, Queen of Scots, together with letters connected to James I of England, will probably go shortly to what it calls the largest private library in the world, owned by an American in California. The letters are said to have been acquired from a Scotch castle where they had been for centuries; letters written by James are described as not rare, while few written by Mary are in existence.
By the Associated Press.
LONDON, October 26. - The Daily Sketch says a collection of letters of Mary, Queen of Scots, and a son of James I of England probably will go shortly to enrich "the largest private library in the world, owned by an American in California."
A connoisseur, William H. Robinson of Newcastle, says the Sketch, acquired them from a Scotch castle, where they had been for centuries. Letters written by James are not rare, but few written by Mary are in existence.
