MIR. EDIToR;- exceedingly regret the
lulefenCe lAAl may De drawn from the j.,
article in your editorial coll
umns last week in regard to the standing
of Mrs. Peters in the journal vacation
contest. While | acknowledge with grati-
tude the kindly efforts which are being
put forth by her many friends, yet am
sure she would not be willing, in the least
degree, TO belittle the efforts or the stand ,
ing of other contestants, one OF whom
was at the time ahead of her on the list,
and who, have no doubt, is as worthy Of
a vacation as is Mrs. Peters. Why may
not Vermont-the State that takes and {
reads more Boston Journals than any other 9
State, beside Massachusetts capture two {
or more of the vacations so generously
offered by the Journal? We can if we
will work to that end.
