Orchard Lawn, Winchester - Thanks him for his note; in reading 'Taboo and the Perils of the Soul' he has other examples of sympathetic magic: a lost nail from a cow's foot that needed to be found and stuck into some bacon as related by Cecil Torr in 'Small Talk at Wreyland'; a child born with a rupture healed by being passed through a split ash tree; and horseshoes that must be hung heels uppermost.
Accompanied by the envelope redirected from the Albemarle Club to the Midland Grand Hotel, London NW1.
