Going through it, I noticed some amusing references about myself, which, by the way, I appreciate-candor has always been a characteristic of mind, as it is of your admirable little journal. But unfortunately, you made one mistake. (You probably will say, that is not many.) The mistake is, that my chief employed is Sir Thomas Lipton. I have a great admiration for Sir Thomas Lipton, He is a very good friend of mine, but he is not my employer and I have...
