CosoRsss HALL, Philadelphia, Nov IS 1887,
Dear Sir Before leaving your city, allow me to
press you the perfect satisfaction feel in witnessing
the progress which my has made in Elocuton under
your instruction The habit Of stammeriug which COM
menced with his early efforts speak, and which thirteen
years Chs present age) seemed only to confirm, IS now,
with six weeks instruction, completely eradicaied.--
Though delighted beyond expression in this result, am
disappointed. From the moment became acquain.-
ed with your method Of instruction. did doubt It's
tire success. Founded scientific principles, II must
succeed in all where there is malformaon OF
the organs Of speech. You have reduced TO system
what before was but mperectly understood and done
most essential service TO mankind in eeyat.ng nume
class Of unfortunate fellow beings, and saved them
from the mpositions OF ignorant and unprinciped
prizes. Very respectfully your obedent servant,
