(I omitted to correct a misstatement at the beginning of the paper by
these gentlemen: My article was written for the _Evening Post_ last
winter, while I was South, and in answer to an editorial which had
appeared shortly before, but that paper declined to publish it. The
editor probably labored under the impression that Messrs. Hall and
Bolton knew all about it; and that the buckwheat field could not have
been anywhere else but in the grounds of Columbia University, while
in fact the _real_ buckwheat field was situated far to the north,
near the real Day’s tavern.)
