An answer to these questions and a copy of the analyst’s Report will oblige, Dear Sir, yours truly, C. B. GARRETT May I ask you to preserve this note, as I have no time to take a copy ? W.

I am, dear Sir, your obedient Servant, W. GINNER. C. B. Garrett, Esq., M.D. * [viz. the letters marked Nos. 2, 5, 6, 13.
