Rale Irish- The following is the postscript of Patrick McNoggin's
letter to his frind Michael O'Flanagan in Ireland that some
beggarly eastern editor intercepted:
P.S. I'm done now, Michael, and send this by the good stamer

so Michael, cant I send you a lether before it is writ, and get
an answer before I sind it.
