PISI1 IN ULSTER.
[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—As a large number of inquiries relative to Pise building in the North of Ireland have from time to time been sent on to me from the Spectator, you may perhaps find space for a letter that should prove helpful to such of your readers as may still be seeking information.—I am, Sir, &c., Crotic u WILLIAMS-ELLS.
49 Victoria Street, Belfast.
"DEAR Mn. WirmAms-Ems,—Remembering your kindness in telling me about the bungalow at Newlands Corner, and thereby enabling me to visit it during a short visit to London some months ago, I venture to send you this photograph of a Pisd house which I have designed and erected for my occupation near Belfast, and I think that you may be interested to see the beginnings of Pisd work over here, knowing as I do the debt that I and all interested in economic buildings owe to Mr. Strachey and yourself. I was fortunate in getting hold of a most intelligent and unbigoted builder's foreman to act under my instructions, and the ex-Service- men (whom I employed as largely as possible) entered into the spirit of the work well, too. The foreman is quite keen to tackle any sort of Pisd building that turns up, and I am going to assist him in any way I can, so that I hope that people will take an interest in Pisd, and I should be very glad to have word from you if ever you should have Irish friends who are interested in Pisd, as I think that there must be many who are, and I hope they will increase as time goes on.
With thanks to you for your lead and kindness, I am, Sir,
