disposition Of those that come after ii
!, As an evidence Of the fsct that til
ladies appreciate this method, VI
; have been favored with 8 volumniou
correspondence, in answer to the adver
tisement Of "Box58," who some tim,
ago, solicited a wife, through the col
umns Of this paper.
We shall give one OF two samples
only; to show the sincerity Of The
parties called out.
The first is from New Orleans very

New ORLEANS, May l4A54.
Sir: As was somewhat hastily
glancing over the papers this morning,
my attention was suddenly arrested by
seeing very minute description given
of a wife that was needed deeming
myself answering in the particulars
that you enumerated in regard to the
eyes, figure, age, and 40 forth, Ger.
tainly thought that there was no i'm
propriety in sending you q few lines.
to inform you that there is one that
regards your advertisement as wor-
thy Of notice, and could BY no means
allow such to pass by UNDECIDED. You
spoke Of erecting a Crystal Palace
on Laurel street, and l presume you
will soon put your intentions into ex-
ecution; as it will afford me great
pleasure, to gaze upon such magni6-
cent edifce, SO near my native place;
but the great addition to my pleasure
is, that the owner of such, stands in
need of a wife.
Answer this as soon as possible so
as to inform me whether you received
this brief epistle, as it will contribute
to alleviate my fears. If this should
meet with your appreciation, we will
Sign the Pledge" as soon as circum-
will admit.
Respectfully,
DOLLY LOUISA DENN1soN.
