CORRESPONDENCE. 315- 



the honse is quiet,— generaUy from 10 p.m. to 

 2 or 3 in the morning. I have answered 

 you— but against my will, as I much dishke 

 personal questions. Were I to reply to such 

 in general, my entire life would be laid bare 

 to the eyes of a disinterested pubhc, in order 

 to gratify a few persons, who have no motive 

 save one of idle curiosity. 



T. Ckmo^.— Grandfathers Hunter is sold out. 

 Horses and Horsemen is to be had, but its price 

 puts it beyond the pale of ordinary purchasers. 

 Try Bumpus, or Mudie. 



Oxonian.— Yon are wrong,— nor have I 

 asked your opinion. It is easier to criticise 

 than to write. Having done the former, pray 

 do the latter, and submit to others' criticism. 

 Marcia Flood.— Two yards round the hem 

 is amply sufficient width. I consider the 

 price you name quite exorbitant. Try one 

 of those mentioned by me in my chapter 

 upon riding-gear. 



Thanking you, Sir, for your kindness m 

 granting me so much of your valuable space. 

 I am, yours obediently, 



Nannie Power O'Donoghue.
