- Correspondence from Smith to the donor, dated 14/2/35, refers to how the majority of the collection is fake apart from "a bronze horseman and an uninscribed head", and, considered of most interest, a small stela and a small incense-burner, both believed to carry the names of their owners; reply dated 15/2/35 confirming donation of the collection (ANE); donation reported to Trustees 1 March 1935 as "Four South Arabian antiquities, two being inscribed, presented by Captain J.R.C. Crosslé, 2nd. Battn., The Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Regiment".
