The letter suggests that one train

The Landlord.

The landlord Is grasping man
On selfish pleasure bent;
His one thought is to let mis- fats
And make you pay the rent
II you suggest few repairs
You fiji his heart with gloom.
It stabs him to the heart to have
TO paper up a room.
The landlords life is one Of ease,
So all his tenants say;
OF course, he has some tax bills and
The water tax to pay;
And then he had to build the house
Before it could be let;
But all he thinks Of all the time
Is how much he can get.
