Allow me to say few words regarding
the best system of shorthand to learn
One OF your correspondents yesterday
said that the Graham system was the
best to learn. and naturally she would
think So it being her ideal
The GreSS system. oriSiHdtS1 ny TO
bert Gregg, OF Chicago. seems TO be the

This would be my ideal OF shorthand.
