that only at the third or fourth call is any one found who can show
the Inspector the incriminated rooms. In some cases but not in all,
it is possible that this absence from home is one of the causes of

shown that same zeal and interest in their work which I have

I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
FRANCIS STEVENS.
