CORRESPONDENCE.

I thank you so much for the so

Ma Chere Cesarine,

rolling standstill, n'est ce pas?

What I like so much more than any other was our visit to your the beautiful council chamber, men round the little table were all so solemn and serious. They think so hard they have no time to speak. I do not understand him all the time. Your city must be the great city. All your councilers can read and write, and all of them were sober. I was so surprised. When you come here I will show you our Hotel-de-Ville. It will be a big shock for you. But I think I like him better when you have to stay with him for a long time.

Recommend me to your dear Maman me choro Cesarine,

I am,

Your affectionate,

SUSANNE.

P.C: I also want some snappy tloa

B.Y.S-You Jook as if you wont to a rope shop for your last, lot. And if you ask me you want a now euft. That one fits where it touches and even if you haven't got decent shoes you might keep them clean.. No don't thank me. Thank 8ir Wil- llam Crawford.
