SIR: AS our recent Historical Convention at
the Montgomery White has kicked up a great
muss among: our 'floyal" brethren of the North,
whose imaginations are disturbed by "chimeras
dire" and alisorts Of queer notions, hasten to
Law before the public the following letter, this
morning received from the "Return Letter
Office" Washington city. It seems that the
officer haying charge Of that business has, after
opening and reading it, deemed the letter Of
such value as to cause him ineontlnently to
subject the Government to; the payment OF SIX
cents in official stamps, and myself to six cents
in the ordinary stamps, in order that / might
receive the valuable communication ION which
the postage lwas2not prepaid) before there was
time for it; to cool. rtEish ~ - '5-52."f =
A L copy the letter literally, spelling, ;pronun-
citation and all, as far as Lam able to decypher
it and it will make a fitting accompaniment
to the recent Charlottesville letter to the New
York Times The name of the writer cannot
make out, as tits some unspellable, 'as well as
unpronounceable, German name, written IN
what are to me hieroglyghicss: e.,.l
