 to it, and of which Herb. T.C.D. 1 received duplicates, 

 especially seeing how indefatigable my Father has been in 

 getting up correspondents for your books. ... I would not 

 mention this were it not that such trifles are made bones of 

 contention and that my Father has himself diverted the 

 current of Cape contributions to T.C.D. to a considerable 

 extent.
