PREFACE 



Fletcher, all of New York, and Mr. William 

 B. Abbott, of Wilton, N. H., I doubt greatly 

 if this booklet would have seen the light of 

 day. 



To all of these good people I wish to em- 

 phasize the pleasure their comradeship has 

 bestowed, and to them this volume is en- 

 dearingly inscribed.
