is to print some such communication as We
have received this week from Rcdc.' TC
feel that some one appreciates us, is to not

communication came near being too much
for our modesty and only the ambition
that we have. to attain to fame, can &C,
count for our willingness to publish It, as
it bears evidence of the fact that to one, at
least, we have not appeared at disa,lyan'
itage.
