MIR. j. NJ. Reynolds. census enumerator for
Bel Air precinct, thinks he was the enumerator
referred TO in our little article on the census
last week. He does not wish to be misconstrued
and says the facts are as follows: He re-
ceived notice to send in his papers, when, If he
had sent them at that time, fifteen hundred
persons would have been missed but he went
on and took them all. We make the statement
cheerfully, but granting that he was the one
referred, to we fail to see any distinction in the
effect of the notice from what we had before
stated.
