A matter of some interest has just come to my notice while this volume is passing through the press. Quite recently my friend and relative, Dr. Sephton, of Culcheth, Warrington, informed me that the Rector of Newchurch, Culcheth had in his possession some interesting relics more or less connected with the “Cheeryble Brothers.” Three days ago I received the following letter from this gentleman — the Rev. E. W. Whittenbury Kaye:—
“Newchurch Rectory,
Culcheth, Nr. Warrington,
September 14, 1906.
Dear Sir, —
Whenever you are in this neighbourhood I shall be pleased to have a visit from you. I am a relative of the Dinwiddies and Whittenburys, and have a small portrait of Mr. Dinwiddie, who was a friend of Mr. Daniel Grant. I have also a large Bible given by Mr. Dinwiddie to Mr. Grant, and, strange to say, it has been transferred from the Grants to the Whittenburys. It has the following inscription:—
‘To the Kind and Benevolent
Daniel Grant, Esq.,
This Sacred Volume is
Presented by
His old and sincere friend,
James Dinwiddie,
Poole, Wharfdale,
July, 1830,
Then in his eightieth year.’
