In reading over the items l find
that the name of Sperry occurs very
frequently, but | have really been
more than usually put to it for some
thing to write about this week in the
way of news, and this happens to be
one of the times when my spirit feels
subdued, and when / am laboring
under the conviction that my forte
lies kitchenward. ! am quite posi-
tive, however, that the above output
is very harmless and not likely to
arouse the ire of any one. If ! am
mistaken and someone finds fault
with it | am willing to meet him or
her at fifty PAGES, with rolling pins
for weapons.
l wish everybody very Merry Christ
mas
And Happy New Year;
May the gods be good to all of you
