Editor's letter to James S. Leadbetter dated to 1933 is tipped in inside the front cover "Dear Leadbetter You will find the "encroaching on eternity" wheeze[?] in Horae Subsecivae. 1897. 3rd Vol. pp 130.161. The editor says "we all remember," so the yarn seems to have been well known at one time; but the above is my own printed "reference". I hope that you got further than old Sauds' "Foreword", & that you found my book of some interest. My holiday is ended & I am going home this afternoon. We got 32 Brace cu[?] 12th at Dalnabrech & 31 1/2 on 14th which pleased everyone. Yours ever Harry A. Cockburn".
