DEAR SIRs: am sorry you felt il needful to ask
permission" to do n thing so obviously right and
thing that am myself doing at every favorable
opportunity, viz z-state for the benefit of other suf

You certainly and most cheerfuly have my
qualified permission to use any information con-
ceTning my case that you have, or that can give
you, though suppose you have about all there Is

precisely what should be.
Nature in all her normal and healthful operations
works silently and quietly. and if measured by the
moment, or perhaps even by the day or week
would be found almost impereePtible in her prog

How foolish (?) to swallow down the tasteles

The glorious light of heaven comes to us in
