'Siste Viator
Here, and for — yards to rearward, lies the Dust of Men slain in the Battle of Naseby, 14 June, 1645. On and near this spot, it appears by due investigation, was the brunt (crisis?) of the Battle. Saturday (date is not in the Book; try if you can discount it [indecipherable word])—1844 2(?), this ground was opened (not irreverently), as the last link of evidence; and the ashes of the old Dead answered mutely, Yes. Yea (See Carlyle’s “Cromwell,” in loco [crossed through and question mark in pencil], and the Authorities indicated there).
