Summary
Brown wool double-breasted coachman's overcoat with a collar, lined with black cotton sateen and with two large pockets and one small pocket. There are 6 large crested metal alloy buttons down the front, and 4 small crested buttons, two on each cuff. A piece of paper found in a pocket, written in a beautiful hand, says 'Brougham to take us to Mrs. Locock's, Heatherwood, Putney Heath to be there at 7.40.' The paper has a watermark with a coronet and the word 'Regia'.
