WASHINGTON, D. O., February -, 1879.
To the Editor Of the National Republican:
Sin: Much ado is made by your reporter, see,
over the conversion by Hammond. the preacher,
Of my respected Israelitish friend and excellent
neighbor, Mr.. Prince, to the Christian faith.
Now, while this is not Much Ado About Moth.
