One has said of letter-wrltug that no
letter Unacceptable uulessl 10 contains things
we wish 10 know. and since your city IS not
as fully represented as might be expected
al tins charming old place. the fear that I he
doiugs Of those from other states would
not greatly interest your readers has de-
TERED your correspondent from lnflcting
% communication upon them. That there
has been much that was pleasant with the
advent of each day there is 10 question,
and u we fail to make it interesting 10 Will
not bee the tault of the pleasures, but Tor
lack of spirit IN the telling.
