     [TRANSLATION:   Dear little boy. On his name day. Robertus Mangles, Armiger sponsor. This Pledge of his trust and hope.]
     [The donor, Robert Mangles (1731-1788) of Wanstead in Essex, was married to Ann Pilgrim and the arms on the goblet are probably those of a branch of the Pilgrim family. It is not possible to positively identify the recipient but it is likely that Mangles would act as God-parent to members of his close family. The birth of one Robert Pilgrim is recorded in Essex genealogical records in circa 1782.]
