      Beeswax obtained near the ancient Church of Kilaspugbrone Co Sligo with remarks In Juno 1891 I obtained a piece of beeswax measuring about 5 inches by 4 and about 2J inches in thickness with the following history appended A fragment of a very large quantity of ancient beeswax found by our tenant James Crawford in Coney Island Inchmuncligh at the south entrance to Sligo harbour who found it buried deep in the sandy ground at the back of the island when ploughing Your uncle Roger Walker got a piece of it from me and valued it highly He put it with his collection of Irish antiquities and you will prize this memorial of a place to which you were always so much attached June 18 1866 Jane E Meredith Given to her daughter Mrs Johnston from whom I received it WF
