:, Messrs Editors, regret to say that some of
the readers of THE UNION put a wrong con-
struction upon what / said in my letter Of last
week about leap year. simply intended it as
little pleasantly, but 1t seems that people
will sometimes misconstrue things and thereby
make it very uncomfortable for an entirely
innocent person. 1t shall be my endeavor
hereafter not to lay myself liable to any such
unjust criticism. M.
