I never called any of their fowls " Gray Shanghaes," surely ! How a sensible man, who writes so cleverly as Wright does, usuallj^, could have wrought himself up to penning such a tirade as he thus has, is more than I can comprehend — since it . is notorious that I opp...osed it in com- mittees ; in my writings ; in conventions ; in public and private ; first, last, and always, — upon the ever-constant principle that my fowls were "Gray Shanghaes " from the start, and not " Brahmapootras."
