quoted enough to show the ppirit of the letter.
There are several other letters from the husband,
utging separation, and proposing terms-one of them
signed, Z" am your busbard, by statute law"

The deserted wife has put her in the hands of
coed counsel, and the husband will not be allowed to
deprive her of her just rights, unless his fight carries
him beyond the boundaries of the country.
