Lear Onllufen.
In this last mail two letters were
so badly torn that l could not read
them, and this has happened often
before.
When I tell you why you will be
surprised. but l believe you will be
careful not to let it happen again.
In sealing your letters you allowed
the moist envelope flap to touch
your letter. Result. the letter stuck
to the envelope. and tore when it
came out. In the first place, / do
not want you to be careless in such
matters in the second, your letter
is lost.
Lovingly.

well as the city, so, country cousins, lets
