M M\rlc0.,'

I sent this by e-mail but it came back undelivered because the address I have for you is

‘administratively disabled.’ I enjoyed yourtalk the other evening and was glad you did not
forget the fire brigade!

l have just acquired a 1902 Kelly's Local Authorities Companion which contains assorted
county, district and parish information, probably already within your knowledge but, in case
not, here are some local details that I have noted. I hope they may be of some use.
