Wallace" <wally@ecc-uky.campus.mci.net> To: ggohr01@mail.orion.org Subject: Battle of Neville's Crossing Glen, I ordered the 360 yr of Neville's and the Battle of Nevilles Cross. I got the 360 yrs of Neville's okay but I was wondering how you were progressing on the Battle of Neville's Crossing. I read some of it was not legible. Was the other copy any better? Regards, Bill Wallace, Radcliff, KY __________ Bill and all, I did receive another copy via interlibrary loan. However, that copy (from the Denver Public Library) is harder to read than the one I have. It was donated to that library by Joseph B. Neville also, and is a copy from the original. I have used a magnifying glass and traced in pencil where characters in the type are very difficult to read. I intend to mail out the copies either tomorrow or the next day. This is a rare item. The original is over 100 yrs. old and must be housed in England somewhere. Henry Swallow (the author) also wrote a book called DE NOVA VILLA which also talks about the British Nevilles and mentions about this same Battle of Nevill's Cross. I have a photocopy of the book DE NOVA VILLA which is also difficult to obtain. Hope this helps. Glenn Gohr ggohr01@mail.orion.org
