Dear David Turner,

I am a beekeeper interested in beekeeping history and am researching John Wykeham Jacomb-Hood - your man, I think. I am trying to find out how he died in 1914. I think it was an accident on the railway. If you are still interested in this man, I have a series of articles on beekeeping that he wrote.

Regards, Will Messenger
