With RARE and important three page ALS tipped to front end page sent from Leland at the Hotel Victoria Florence Italy to Mr Sampson noted linguist John Sampson possiby dated 1899 with "99" after heading. "Dear Mr Sampson I have written and sent you separately by this mail that which I contribute to our book." He then discusses his wishes for the Preface and Introduction before adding "The Tinkers. This is quite unfinished. It needs a great deal from you. Please note that I have got some queer items as to the Tinkers of old times." In the next paragraph he mentions Shelta Shelta Thari being an esoteric language spoken by the tinkers which Leland had discovered in 1876. He goes on to ask "Can you send me an Old Irish alphabet' and later "I hope it will not take you long to put together what you and Professor Meyer will give" referring to Professor Kuno Meyer a German scholar distinguished in the field of Celtic philology and literature. Then an address in Hamburg Germany where he can be reached after June and "Sincerely Charle G. Leland". While I can find no book that these three men published together Sampson and Meyer did much work later to carry forward research and knowledge of the Shelta language and customs.
