Dear Don & List,

Jansy put me onto a tale by Conan Doyle (sans Holmes) that may be pertinent
to Lolita.

The Captain of the "Pole-Star"
[Being an extract from the singular journal of JOHN M`ALISTER RAY,
student of medicine.]

- - the story followed by - -

NOTE by Dr. John M'Alister Ray, senior.

I wonder if the name M'Alister appears in Lolita?

Carolyn
