Nov, 1860 received. In II you state thaI
YOU have selected and hold for our benefit

TO enclose. Thankee. Hold on 10 EN- il
that will benefit US any You also state
that said Lottery is to be drawn Dec, %.
1850. on the plan of the Royal Havana
Lotteries" Thus far your letter gives
eminent satisfaction, with the exception
of the liule word dralCni We have al
waps felt a peculiar aversion to drau
games. You proceed TO state that said
package will be sent us''-Ahi This
don't look quite so promising! Don't you
see that when you SEND US the package
YOU cease to hold At for our benefU Not
satisfied with this damper to our rising
hopes, you 90 on and add conditions, viz
1--WE suppose that means Visionary "if YOU

lect package. Thank yer beg to decline
the kind offer and make a counter propo-
sition, wiz send US the SO and hold
the package for yOur OWn bengft-Ahl

of the virtues Of said select package, to
wit and should it (the select package
fell to draw US a prize Of not less than
$1,000, you will send Us another package
in your extra Lottery free of cost" Now
we would think that a mighty liberal Of
fer if the free package was warranted TO
draw $4,000 more or less. You have for
gotten to state how much a free package
IN your EXTRA Lottery is warranted to
draw on an average. Suppose the free
package is a contingency that you caIcu-
late Uerl little upon, (ditfo ne for you go
on to state that zoe are however entitled
TO all the packages may draw, whether
over or under $1,000. VIII il not do as
well for you to hold the package, and we
the X dollars, till we all see how much
said selected package does draw? Per-
haps you have made a discovery by which
you can tell which package are bound to
draw; if so, We propose to patronlse
your A boss institution gerry largely proyi-
ded you will at all times give us the ben
eft Of your vizdom in electingiwarranted
PACKAGES. Strange! what a state Of
perfection you are bringing these Lottery
enterprises to! Somebody said thar ar
