Rieppi’s radiocarbon analysis of the Yuko Nii Foundation death wrrant<br />

said:<br />

“…giving a calibrated result at the 99.7% probability level with date<br />

ranges of 1666-1784 (43.0%)…”<br />

Such analysis is imperfect at this time, but detective work <strong>and</strong> thought can<br />

offer insight into what is likely. What is likely is that<br />

1) This carefully rendered h<strong>and</strong>written copy in iron<br />

gall ink was done prior to any engraved copies<br />

2) <strong>The</strong> excellence of the copy suggest it was done<br />

for an important person or institution that needed a<br />

copy for historical or other purposes<br />

3) This copy existed at the time of Horace Walpole,<br />

which is why reference is made to Horace<br />

Walpole’s engraved copy in the h<strong>and</strong>written note<br />

that accompanies the YNF copy<br />

So this is an important item.<br />

! 165!
