One-page inventory of the silver, including the weight of each object, donor, and dates; one passage is crossed out, and written diagonal to the inventory are the words "Fort London Farmer London." Docketed on the verso with an address to the Right Honorable Samuel Bishop of York.

IV. College bowl inscription, undated

Inscription likely composed in the eighteenth century by Boston attorney Josiah Quincy, Jr., father of Harvard President Josiah Quincy (1829-1845). There are no known records of this cup, but it may have been part of the College Plate. The inscription begins, "Crown high the Goblet," and references knowledge, truth, and virtue. The last line reads "inquit Quincy," which translates as "says Quincy."
