The
trigger to The
Littleport Society becoming aware of the link between
William Sylvester Harley, joint founder of the HARLEY-DAVIDSON

letter supplied by Kate Harley. Kate is the wife of John Harley,
grandson of William Sylvester Harley.

of The Littleport
Society made this exciting discovery, when in August

April 1893 by Mary FYSON of Victoria Street, Littleport, to her
dear Brother and Sister. |
