copies of letters without the expense OF
a copying press, as follows: ga strip OF
muslin attached to wooden roller, and
costing certainly not more than twelve
cents, answer every purpose: The pa
per, after being properly wet, should be
placed between the muslin and the roller;
and by merely rolling the roller up, con-
sequently pressing the paper against the
letter, will take perfect impression
from it. As this method is sc simple in
its operation, and so quick and effective,
