Loughgall - Armagh - Has been reading 'Folk-Lore in the Old Testament' and gives an account by James Hart in Burma to draw up a treaty with China, and his experience of traveling in Tibet, and being presented with a local girl, who was gathering love tokens much as the Lolos did in Marco Polo's time; also retails a story by a Doctor Burnley in Brierfield, who treated a woman who had applied cow dung to her chest to ease pain; recommends 'The Dolmens of Ireland' by W. Borlase; suggests if the letter is not of use to consign it to the flames, which might be best considering the names mentioned.
