Alan Herring notes that many of these items came to him from the Apple Office in Savile Row. He also states that item vii came from the Gatehouse at Tittenhurst Park in the early 1970s. The record sales papers (item vi) were "sent in the post daily to the individual Beatles. These copies are most likely to have been sent to Ringo and left by him in the car for me to take care of."
