Il
I am very busy person and dc
other work besides answering these
| Letters. Therefore, shall request
the readers of this column to write
| on one side OF the paper, as these
| letters have to be glued to copy pa
| per, and it consumes great deal OF
| time, and unless you do this ! will
| not be able to answer the letters.
And another thing, unless you are
writing to me seriously 7 shall no1
bother to reply. Some of the letterr
receive are SO silly and nonsensical
I think they arc only written out
of fun more than anything else. IF
they continue I will not print the1s
in The Journal.

and is so proud. Thanking you for
all advice, L truly hope to see this
