Note 1
Williams, Alfred: Ms / WGS / FSUT: 'The Lass of Richmond Hill is very well known and figures in several collections of old songs. The following copy was current at Langford, which was formerly noted for its various activities, viz in music, wrestling and back-sword play. Words obtained of James Thorne, Langford, near Lechlade.'
Note 2
In the file is a fair copy of the text by Williams and another copy in pencil in the hand of James Thorne who writes, 'May 28th, 1916 To Mr Williams. Dear sir sorry i was not at home when you called but i have wrote the song you wanted the same as i used to sing it hope you will get it alright what lovely weather we are having Yours truly James Thorn Langford nr Lechlade Glos'.
James Thorne does not use the capital 'I', or any punctuation in his letter.
