Who Was the Writer of "Father O'Flynn?"
To the Editor. Sir-In your issue of August 18 it Is stated by Bolton Woods that the words of "Wather O'Flynn" were written by Mr. Grayes, "a clergyman." I have always understood-and been proud of it-that Alfred Percival Graves was a school inspector who put me, and my schoolboy class, through its pacés in my young days in London. However, I am open to correction. A reference book I have says: "Graves, Alfred P., 1846 ("Father O'Flynn," etc.)." I met the school inspector some 35 years ago, which would be 1898, and, if born in 1846, that would make him at that time 52, which I should judge to be about his age at that time. Is it possible the writer of your Records Notes is incorrect? I am quite interest-el.-I am, ete., HOPH-I’M-RIGHT. Timaru.
