| fore. The crossing on the lake anc
late trains are the cause of 1t, ant
all this happened about Christmas

one has anything important to sent
: through the Nauvoo mails he gener
: ally looks up someone who is golns
I to Keokuk or FIT Madison to mai
their letter so as to assure prompt
delivery. Nauvoo's mail service coulc
