If next year's crop yields as well as this year's, we shall have twenty times that quantity." Mr. Findlay has other seed potatoes, just as high priced, for which he wants $125 per lb., which, he says, "means that I do not want to sell any."

Had a dry walk from the Court by way of dainty, and made it a long one. Anne went at night to Lady Minto's. Hear of Miss White's death.
