a scheme of which think / am the author.
1t is this. As soon as / can after receiving

One can see great progress in our lines OF
thought by the difference that has shown itself
in these columns. May it SO continue to the
end.
Wishing success to all, and happy time to
those who are TO visit st. Paul, am. Loyalty in
