The Litchfield County post. [volume] (Litchfield, Conn.) 1826-1829, 1827-02-02


AS several of our readers have informed us
that they feel no interest in the controversy
between the friends of Mr.. Merwin and Mr..
Sterling, we have concluded to publish for
their special benefit, the following letter from
"our friend" "Joe Strickland" We have
however some little reason to complain Of
:" Joe," for not paying the postage of his let
ter, seeing he could so well have spared ten
cents out of his "plaguey great lottery prizes,
bought at Arnolds."
