COL. ANSTRUTHER THOMSON 39 



1870. Mr. Wetton, the postmaster at Northamp- 

 ton, was a capital sportsman ; he had a farm near 

 Northampton and a fox cover, where he was always 

 proud to have a fox. Before I left he made me a 

 most valuable present all the engravings of the 

 old Sporting Magazine. 



" NORTHAMPTON, 



" ist March, 1870. 



" MY DEAR Sm,- 



" It gives me very great pleasure to forward 

 the accompanying set of sporting prints, of which I 

 beg your acceptance, hoping they will afford some 

 little amusement to the younger members of your 

 family, whom I have so often admired in the hunting 

 field. 



" Heartily wishing you all every conceivable happi- 

 ness, allow me to remain, 



" Yours very faithfully, 



" GEO. H. WETTON. 



"J. ANSTRUTHER THOMSON, Esq."
