! Now where are my profits? L wrote
many letters, furnished paper, envcl-

paying for at least three kilograms; lost
much time in riding to and from Pros

out runners to notify parties of the ar
rival of the goods; met with opposition
from those persons who opposed the
scheme, and to-day l am prosecuted
for the part I took in the business. 10
