My DEE. Mrs. JENKs-Your last letters
have not been funny, as you say, still
laughed heartily over them, nevertheless.
And so, you were not mad? How strange,
considering you id Hayes, Sherman & Co.,
and wished them to the devil. l natu-
rally concluded you were mad. And so, you
would not take filthy greenbacks from my
friends? Well, that is good. Why. dis.
tinctly understood you to name i've hundred
dollars as the sum you needed to pay OH that
mortgage, and after receiving It'll you would
return to New Orleans and forward the docu-
ments that would carry CONSERVATION ger
orally to the administration. What In Sa-
tan's name did you expect to gain by lying
in the manner you did ? for you did lie most
damnably. Why, at the very time you were
in Washington to sell that document another
party was there who had it In his
possession, and he declares that you
| never saw it; that he does not
know you, and never heard of you until you
gained notoriety by attempting to bulldoze

hood to come on such a fools errand. There
