OF the paper you correspond with. Many
persons do not write copper plate hand,
as q consequence the address is often hard
to make out and mistakes often occur. 1t
is not very expensive to have your note
heads printed and you will be well pleased

later fell down cstern, where he was
compelled to remain for nearly two hours
before being rescued. He ought to be
good man for the Democrats to nominate
for President

great many lack in this busy rush of life.
