it is very cheering to have reached the' ;i d of oven* the first
stage. And we are now planning the re-conversion of fin old
ofiice (welch has Deon meantime used as a conservatory I)
into the new record-room, and the trfinsformation of the
present da-i-itn-* room into a decent office for Lock, and the
