Dear Mr Powys-Lybbe

      I have now the pleasure to enclose a draft
of the entry to bring your Pedigree to date in the
records here.

      Would you be kind enough to complete the
items marked in pencil and sign the draft at foot in
the presence of a witness and return it to me.

      I am getting on with the proving of the
scheme of quarterings.

Yours sincerely,

[handwritten] Arthur Cochrane
Chester Herald
Registrar

The original of this letter was left in the sun for a decade or two and all the type has faded to virtual invisibility, so it cannot be scanned and displayed.

This letter shows that the quarterings were being worked on in 1925. Then they would go to the heraldic artist and, in due course, be signed by Arthur Cochrane who in 1927 became Clarenceux King of Arms. My guess is that Arthur Cochrane signed this as one of his early acts as Clarenceux, dating the work to 1927.
