Hello Liz,

Nice to hear from you. Thank you for the information. Sorry about the delay in answering I have been away.

Another Item occurs to me. It might be of interest to members.

I located this whilst carrying out research for a talk that I am doing.

"I saw and Felt a waft of death go forth against him"
George Fox 17 August 1658.

He was referring to to Oliver Cromwell's death. That Day Cromwell had been out riding and George Fox had visited. Shortly afterwards He had a relapse. Cromwell carried on working until 28th August and 7 days later he died..

My interest:- I am putting on an exhibition and a talk about Oliver Cromwell Down here in Kent during the month of September. Any one with an interest Please Email me. At least one Quaker attended the Funeral.

Best wishes to you all
