Sat. Sept. 2 /71.
Jno T. Bradlee Esq

Dear Sir

I returned this
AM from Hallowell, & have
to report that I discovered
the Sphinx resting in its native
bed, or nearly so, in the quarry
2 1/2 miles from the depot and
wharf in Hallowell.

It is just
where it was quarried or split off
from the layer, except that the
big end has been swung around
about half way from ^^a square. _
