TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sri,—l am sorry to trouble you with the enclosed letter,
which I have just received from Southampton, and should
feel obliged if you would insert it in your valuable journal. I
beg to say that I have no travelling establishment, coos-

as those should be stopped, or there is no telling where rt
may end. Yours respectfully,
