Sir,-As our recent Historical Convention
at the Montgomery White has kicked up
great muss among our "loyal" brethren of
the North, whose imaginations arc disturbed
by "chimcras dire" and all sorts of queer
notions. hasten to lay before the public the
following letter, this morning received from
the "Return Letter Office" Washington
city. 1t seems that the officer having charge
OF that business has, after opening and read
ing il, deemed the letter of such value rs to
cause him incontinently to subject the Gov
ernment to the payment of six cents in off,
cial stamps, and myself to six cents in the
ordinary stamps, in order that might re-
ceive the valuable communication ION which
the postage was not prepaidD before there
was time for it to cool.
| copy the letter literally, spelling, pro-
nunciation, and all. as far as am able to de-
cipher it; and it will make fitting accom-
panimcnt TO the recent Charlottesville letter
TO the New York Times. The name of the
writer cannot make out, as it is some un-
spellable as we'll as ulipronounceable German
Lame. written in what arc to me hero
glyphics.
