Il was pleased with the contribution ofmy
unknown coadjutor UPON 'Phonography,"I
am practical advocate Ct that art as wtil as
'phonete spelling, but as it has already ma
ny powerful supporters, propose TO leave its
public advocacy chiefly to others, while
plead the cause of those who have 10 power
to plead for themselves.
Now to persuade the people cfour county
to adopt Phonetic spelling, it will be nj ccssa-
~ to follow up the article already published,
with something else to keep their attention
upon it long enough TO present lis history,
character and advantages in such light that
they cannot resist the conclusion that it lisa
thing to be adopted. Enclosed is the first
Chapter Of a series of papers which I am will
ling to write on the subject for publication. il
encouraged to DO so, but as | ain a hard
working farmer and very busy at this season,
