ENOTE.--Thc foregoing manuscript
was written by Il patient WHO has been
for the last eleven months an inmate
OF this institution, with little pros
pect OF ever leaving it alive. In a tit
of de!irium trernens, he killed his
only brother, upon whose generosity
he had lived for many years, and, since
that time, he has written and related
something like this story a multitude
of times. 1t has occurred to me that
it might have a good effect upon him
to see it in print.-Etaaest ILole, III.
