Utter Caddishness Sirs: I read with surprise in your current number, which lies before me, in a footnote on page 18, a most uncalled for and venomous attack on the members of various London clubs which I note are carefully not mentioned by name. That the editor of a paper to which I have for some time subscribed should lower his magazine by allowing some member of his staff to vent his jealousy and malice on men, who, being unnamed, cannot defend themselves ... is inconceivable.

...page introduction to volume two, refuting all past and future doubts as to authenticity. She emphasizes the difficulty of computing dates because the trader's 74 years have (conveniently) mingled and mellowed into great confusion: instance his conviction that the Great War was in 1902. She records his various returns to Africa-offering an unmistakable loophole for the "lifetime" in Africa...
