F. Kirby, writes November 17th, 1890: "The 

 Bible referred to in your note of the 4th instant 

 is not in its place, and I fear must have been 

 abstracted since the last Catalogue of our 

 library was made (about 40 years ago). How- 

 ever, search is being made for it, and if it should 

 turn up you may rely on my giving you the in- 

 formation which you desire."
