Provenance:
The material is said to have come from the offcuts of a suit of clothing the prince was gifted from Cardinal of York, via the tailor who made the suit, a Mr Maughan, to a Mrs Henrietta Trelfs. The suit itself was worn in Rome during 1769 by Prince Charles Edward Stuart during a trip to the Opera at which Mrs Trelfs was present.
It was then given by a Mrs Trelfs to her grandson, Frank Trelfs, in 1822; her letter is printed in the 1899 book 'Lady Nairn and her Songs', by the Rev George Henderson M.A, B.D.
