 12 s. vii. JULY 10, i92o.] NOTES AND QUERIES. 25 this week, and Stebbing had three days holiday, the exchange is not against you for the present, and if I do, as I hope to do, a fair score yet on this side of Christmas, the result will be a pretty fair score for the whole year. Write to me when you will and as you wish. I know you delight in prescribing for the people, and so you are welcome to the enjoyment even in rny case, for I am sure you like it, only, I must take care it doesn't hurt me. Otherwise, there is not among all my friends a single man who would pretend to know me or my affairs better than I know them myself. Ever yours, H. A. W. C. W. B. IRISH FAMILY HISTORY.
