The Collett family chart that accompanied the book, published in 1929, was, at that time, incomplete as to the French and English Collett genealogy.

April, 1930, volume 38, number 2, page 14, Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, under title "Gifts" sets out as received from Miss E. Cruwys Sharland, Cornwell, England, photo's of Little Gidding and some members of the Ferrar and Collett families, of England.

A letter by us to Miss Sharland, December 18th, 1930, brought a reply stating she was eighty years old and had referred our letter to a member of our branch of the English family for a reply. Miss Sharland is the Editor, of "The Story Books of Little Giddings."

March 31st, 1931, brought us a letter from Mr. Henry Collett, 64 Cornhill, London, E.C.3. (home address, 4 St. Anns Villas, Holland Park, London, W. 11 England), of marked interest relative to the English branch of Collett's, that has grown into correspondence that has been carried on since that date, giving a complete data of the early genealogy of the family unknown to me. Also sent us copy of his book published in 1925, titled "Little Gidding and Its Founder." The book contains a history of Little Gidding Church; the address he delivered there on the 300, anniversary of its founding; with biographical notes of the lives of several of the Ferrar's, and Collett's, and followed, in a letter, with a chart, and coat-of-arms, of the English Collett's, a result of which is the herewith corrected, and added to chart of the combined English and American Collett family.

The present Governor of the Bank of England, Mr. Montague Collett Norman, wrote me; long hand; of his mother as a Collett. John Collett, was Governor of the Bank of England, in 1882, and again in 1885. Henry Collett, writes me in 1933, that Sir Knight Charles Collett, had been made Lord Mayor, of London, for 1934, stating the first Collett to be Lord Mayor was Sir Henry Collett, 1486 and again in 1495. His son the Rev. John Collett (spelled Colet.), born 1467, graduated at Cambridge University with degree of M.A., in 1490 became the first Greek instructor at Cambridge. In 1506, he was made Dean of St. Paul's Cathedral, London, England. In 1508, he inherited his father's wealth and in 1509 to 1512, completes the founding and fully endowing of, St. Paul's School for Boys, at St. Paul's Cathedral, which is extant today. In 1514, he made the Canterbury pilgrimage, and in 1515, he preached at Wolsey's installation as Cardinal. Rev. Collett's opinions were so much more liberal than those of his contemporary clergy that he joined Desederius Erasmus, and Sir Thomas More, a barrister, as the three principals in bringing about "The Reformation," in England, under King Henry VIII. (See, "The Oxford Reformers" by E. Seebolm.) Rev. John Collett, died September 16th, 1519, buried on the south side of the choir St. Paul's Cathedral, where a stone laid over his grave bears his name.
