letter from lady, evidently Of culture
and refinement, asking US to do her ser.
vice, which We scarcely know how to go
about. She wants a business man, gen.
tleman oil character, refinement and good
hard sense, ifnot Of culture, to assist her
in managing her property, n task which
she lind4, after much trouble, disappoint-
ment and loss, she cannot "a a woman
successfully accomplish. The gist OF the
letter is ~ follow:
Il have now nice little home, with
