*** The Rev. J. 0. Morris, of Nunburnholme Rectory, Hayton,

York, wishes it to be known that Mrs. Close's letter on the tame kestrel, published in the Spectator of May 14th, was sent to us by him in a covering letter which unfortunately got lost, and that Mrs. Close's letter was addressed to him, not to us.
