| MY DEAR SIR
When sent you my last letter, imsg ined that it
would not be possible to make any further conmu-
nications from this city but having just received

and not knowing the length of time may be absent
take the liberty Occupying vacant hour for the
benefit OF the hundreds of Herald readers in this
