nightly thumps of exasperated card
players, and whose varnish has gone
down before the fervid Influence Of
tnmblers of hot whisky punch. in
such a shape and system as will
permit me to write you something
which shall partly redeem q resolu-
ton of my own making to write you
letter. Day before yesterday this
resolution came upon me and in
tended to give it shape and execu-
ton; but last tour of inspection
among the sights and scenes of the
Centennial, the hurry of packing
and the nervous hustle of getting of
for the convention upset all my poor
plans, and my notion of doing some
writing in the cars WIS rendered I'M
