Autograph Note Signed "Chris. Hodgson" to the Rev. R.H. Barham, minor canon of St Paul's and author of the "Ingoldsby Legends". With the text for a memorial stone.

Two pages (of a bifolium), folio, one page with the ANS, the other with the text for the memorial stone, grubby, fold marks, text clear and complete. Hodson informs Barham that he is "desired by the Dean & Chapter of St Paul's to inform you that they give permission to the Parishioners of St Gregory to put down a plain flat stone in front of the West Entrance of St. Pauls in the manner proposed by them". The text is in Hodgson's hand and consists of a series of statements about Churches destroyed or damaged by the Great Fire of London of 1666. For example, "Near this Marble in [is?] ye Place which befoe the fire of London was the porch of ye Church of St. Anne Black Friars, lye interr'd, &c". Each entry is marked off by two short marginal lines, and numbers 1-6 appear in pencil in the margin (not in the order of writing). At the top of the page is a reference "See Gent Mag Vol pt p".
