‘I’m after reading Frank McNally’

Sir, – I'm after reading "A Bit of Afters – Frank McNally on a cornerstone of Hiberno-English" (An Irishman's Diary, April 14th) and I just want to thank him for all the pleasure I got from it and from all his writing.

He is the best tonic I know, with no side-effects and no danger of overdosage. – Yours, etc,
