A Communication.

Editors Kennebec Journal:
| wish through the medium of your
columns to make statement to my
former pupils. patrons and friends.
When | decided to give up my home in
Augusta, several teachers Of music
wished me to recommend their ServiC eS
10 my patrons. Being a personal friend
to several OF the teachers and Il bust
ness friend to all, | did not feel to
recommend one more than another but
have said a kind word of any one about
whom inquiry has been made. l could
not COnscientiously refer to any Of the
teachers, always being so employed
inquire into their ways and methods.
Consequently | wish to say, contrary to
all reports, | have not promised my
good will t" any one teacher neither
have / advised any pupil of mine as to
his future instructor. In regard to the
Allegro Club which was organized last
winter | hope to call the members
together within few weeks and allow
them to choose some one to carry on the
work I began. Having lived and
worked in Augusta for 50 many years,
cannot give up my interest in my
many friends and pupils and am deeply
grateful to all for their kindness and
patronage in the past.
Yours Sincerely,
