ESTHER. 



Thank you, mamma. I should like to copy this list, and 

 will try to add the badges of the other clans which you do 

 not enumerate, as perhaps I may get some of our Scotch ac- 

 quaintances to tell them to me. 



HENRIETTA. 



Is the trefoil, aunt, which you mention as the emblem of 

 the Sinclairs, the same as the Irish shamrock 1 ?
