Letter on Way 10 Years;
No, 1t Wasn't From Mars
DEDHAM, Mass, Jan. 2S.-A
~ 4

DEDHAM, Mass, Jan. 2S.-A
letter that had been nineteen
years on the way, part of the
time travelling through the war
capitals of Europe, was delivered
to-day to Mrs. Fred I. Pratt Of
this town. 1t looked like futu-
ristic conception of the interna-
tional postal system gone mad,
with more than a score Of for
eign postmarks cutting curliques
with domestic marks.
London, Petrograd and Berlin
and other far places were regis
tered, with the little station Of
City Mills, from which the letter
was sent on February 2, 1902.
Some of the dates indicated
that the letter at times was with
in a day or two of overtaking
Mrs. Pratt. At others it was
years behind, and oddly it found
her to-day within a few miles of
it's starting place.
