Dear Sir Before leaving your city, allow
press TO you the perfect satisfaction feel in witnessing
the progress which my has made in Eocution under
your instruction. The habit OF stammenug, which com
menced with his early efforts speak and which thirteen
years (hs present age) seemed only confirm is
with six weeks instruction, completely cradicaied.-
Though delighted beyond expression this result am
not disappointed. From the moment became acquant-
ed with your method OF instruction did doubt its
tire success Founded scientific principles il must
succeed in all where there is no malformaon Of
the organs Of speech. You have reduced TO a system
what before but imperiectly understood and done
essential service TO mankind in eleyat ng
rous class of unfortunate fellow beings and saved them
from the impostons OF ignorant and unprincipled
prizes Very respectfully your obedient servant,
