Mr Ths Wright Ship Owner Whitby Sir. 10th October 1857 I beg to acknowledge the Receipt of your letter of the 21st Ulto and yesterday's dates - and to acquaint that I returned to Hull but the other day only - when I lost no time in making inquiry respecting the Anchor and chains of your ship - "Delta" - and regret that I cannot supply you with any intelligence respecting the same - The occurrence happened a short time before I took Office here. Decbr 1854. but no such Anchor and Chains as you describe have been ledged either with my predecessor or with me The late Mr Stephenson of Bridlington was receiver of Wreck till October 1855 when I succeeded him in the Office - and sold several Anchors and Chains which he left at Bridlington to which I have sent since my return - and had an inquiry made amongst the Boat-men, but they have no remembrance of any such articles. I have alsomade inquiry of the receiver of Wreck for the [Humber], and he has no knowledge whatever, of the Anchor and Chains. J Sparrow.
