retard the educational work in the

with the work, he can step right in and
carry it forward without having to learn

at all times on the square in his deal
ings; and above all feel that he is tru
~ a man.

tins recommendation, can appoint Mr.,

lieve you will make no mistake, and
that it will be appreciated by myself
