It is interesting to see that great assist ,1Iue was given by numerous per >ons m England and by interested ' ’ ’olara in this country. Informa tion and suggestions for research legard to the charter came from professors, librarians, in this coun try, all over the U. S., and the ,.,m >assy Staff in London. It was Dually requested that the charter be sent here on approval. After ' > ining the necessary clearance with British authorities, thru aid of our ambassador Lewis W. Douglas—the charter was sent. Except tor brief periods when it a as removed for special purposes it was kept in vaults in Wachovia Lank & Trust company in Ra leigh. Photostats were taken of the charter and these were used in much of the study—a copy was sent to London to be verified against the copy on the rolls of Public Record Office. Several scholars after looking at the pho tostats gave the opinion that it showed every sign of being gen uine. •\t this time at Chapel Hill we had from the University College London, a visiting professor. He and other faculty members at our university expressed the opinion that the document was genuine. It was sent to an authority at the Huntington Library in California.

The portrait of Charles II is an extremely fine one and an expert there felt that it was the work of a minaturist. The seal though damaged, he felt was part of the great seal for the gold and silver threads used would have cost high fees and would not have been used in a copy. This and previous evidence in its favor left no reasonable doubt that the charter was authen tic now the question needing an answer was—where did it come from ? Here the assistance of a mem ber of the English Department of University college, London, was obtained. Ihe researcher on a part-time basis spent the better part of 1949 and his report is a fine example of document sleuthing at its best. All the investigations he made are in teresting to read but too long for this — finally it was how and whj it came down to the hands of the Baker family. All clues were rur to earth—even the most illusive were examined—such as the fact that a Baker did serve in the Royal Navy off the American Coast and may have picked up the document which was highly improbable—but it was found in the study of Col onial papers that the document was at one time at Lincolns Inn, It was also found that a Wm. Bak er was at Lincolns Inn, and it was conjectured that with the loose filing of such documents then this Baker might have taken it. All we do know is the interest ing series of events—the arrival of the Charter at Lincoln’s Inn, the arrival of William Baker at the same place, and the discovery of the Charter at the seat of the Baker family. We are much in the realm of conjecture here—but this Baker is probably a vital link in the chain.
