He evidently thought that Arizona was one of the great provinces of the coun- try like Ulster, Munster, Leinster. or Connaught, and that perhaps there was a county of the same name. Any way, the writer, Rev Henry Martin, of the Factory" Killeshandra, County Cavan. knew to whom he wanted to write-Probate Judge Little of Grl- ham county.
