[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] Snt,—Wandering through Bunhill Fields

Burial Ground some years ago I copied this epitaph on the wife of a City magistrate, whose name I foolishly omitted to take :— " In 67 months she was tapped 66 times, Had taken away 240 gallons of water, Without ever repining at her case Or ever fearing the operation."

—I am, Sir, &c.; Strafford House, Aldeburgh, Suffolk.
