A. No, it is not.

Q. Then I should apprehend, you would not usually do it?

A. I have done it differently; I have said "De Berenger to Johnstone."

Q. But you give it a date?

A. I have dated it above those words, as usual.

A. I generally do; I enclose it in the letter to which it refers.

A. It was.
