MAY lUTH, 1901.
MEssRs EDIToRs Although, in my last
communication for the Herald, intimated
should not come any more, yet, it appears, the
necessity is laid on me to trouble YOU again.
and, before enter on my subject, must apollo
gise for my apparent ill-temper. l must confess
uIy passions got the better part of my ludg-
ment But this is very common with mel
have been too often SHINING and repenting.
was vain enough to attempt TO play with the
cat, and should have borne with the scratches
and, peradventure, it may turn out for my bene-
fit. But please inform Charley, the baker, not
to bake another such malignant batch, lest we
should have to sue a beggar toget bug, which
you, Messrs. Editors, would count bad policy.
My business with you, at this time, is to get
you to publish the following errata, which
think essential for my communication of the
l4th ult., to be correctly understood: In the
9Th line from the top, for waste read wrote !:
in llth line, for ere one read alone; in the 26th
line, the word " when " left out, connected with
my brethren, which makes blunder that will
doubtless fill Charles rag-bag full of fun; 44th
line, for ralvey read raillery; I'D line, accord
ing to our works repeated, which is a redun-
dancy. must think of your own; Slst line,
the word God, avenge his own elect, is left out +,
| 77th line from the bottom, for answering read
the word bank, of faith is left cut; 63d line
from the bottom, for disponat read desperate !;
36th line from the bottom, for govan suny read
grace sunny chapel ; 18th line from the bottom,
for mithodum read methodium $rd line from
the bottom, for allowed read avowed; Cd line
from the bottom, for you read God. ,.
Now, Messrs. Editors, as you must make
some blunders, and not few, feel obliged
that you made SO many in publishing my COM
munication, as those who read the Herald
will certainly know, most Of them were made
by yourselves A pitiful cause that, which has
to be Kept up with such faithless and ungenerous
props!
Closing,I would inform you that sephus will
be out again, in few days, in quite a new
dress having been completely converted from
the error Of his former course, as he saith. by
the graceless slavor, Charlie, the baker. or
through his great rudivating spirit. He does
4 not hesitate to declare that he intends to 90
A right in for the Maine Law--to its fullest ex-
tent. He being a young convert, if he sho,tld
become a little fanatical, you will please hear
with him a little in his folly. He being bad
lspeller, and worse scribe, we have obtained a
kind friend to write for him, so that Won will.
for the future, have no trouble with his produc.
tions- This from your worst of enemies' apree.
