_Constable of Masham._--Alan Bellingham of Levins, in Westmoreland, married
Susan, daughter of Marmaduke Constable of Masham, in Yorkshire, before the
year 1624.
I should be very much obliged to any of your genealogical readers, if they
can inform me who was Marmaduke Constable of Masham; to which {199} family
of Constable he belonged; and where I could find a pedigree of his family.

_Fading Ink._--I have somewhere seen a receipt for an ink, which completely
fades away after it has been written a few months. Will some chemical

Minor Queries with Answers.
_Pepys._--I have lately acquired a collection of letters between Pepys and
Major Aungier, Sir Isaac Newton, Halley, and other persons, relating to the
management of the mathematical school at Christ's Hospital; and containing
details of the career of some of the King's scholars after leaving the
school. The letters extend from 1692 to 1695; and are the original letters
received by Pepys, with his drafts of the answers. They are loosely
stitched, in order of date, in a thick volume, and are two hundred and
upwards in number. Are these letters known, and have they ever been
published or referred to?

of A. F. B. on the day of the publication of the new and much improved
library edition of Pepys's _Diary_. Would our correspondent permit us
to submit his collection to the editor of Pepys, who would no doubt be
gratified with a sight of it? We will guarantee its safe return, and
any expenses incurred in its transmission. On turning to the fourth
volume of the new edition of the _Diary_, we find the following letter
(now first published) from Dr. Tanner, afterwards Bishop of St. Asaph,
to Dr. Charlett, dated April
