FEBRUARY 14, 1881. TINKERING At the Hoosier Constitution. Rejected Amendments to Again Go Before the People. An Attempt to Laugh Down the Bill to Establish Whipping-Posts for Wife-Beaters. Personal Gossip and News Notes From the City of: Concentric Circles.

SPECTAL DISPATCH TO THE ENQUIRER. INDIANAPOLIS, February 13. Some time since the Lower House of the Legislature passed a bill submitting the Constitutional Amendments to a vote of the people, and fixed the day for the voting on the 22d of this month. The Senate yesterday also passed the bill, but changed the day for the vote to Monday, April 4, 1881. All the Democrats present voted against the bill except Senators Woods and Yiche, who, together with Davis and Poindexter, Nationals, joined the Republicans in favor of the measure.

The bill now goes back to the House, where there is little doubt that the date of the voting will again be changed to an earlier day than April 4th. The object in this is to let the people determine the matter in time for the present Legislature to pass laws to carry out the amendments, In case they should be adopted by popular vote, they would necessitate the passage of a registration law, and also an entirely new fee and salary bill, besides other legislation. Hence the general, desire to get the matter settled, one way or another, before this Legislature adjourns, which will not be until nearly May. Should an extra session be called, which now seems inevitable, the Constitutional Amendments to be re-submitted are the same that were adopted by the people last April, and which were atterward set aside by the State Supreme Court. They have been a bone of contention for many years, the discussion of them having largely influenced the politics of this State, and there is a general desire to have them faally disposed of by rejection or adoption.

The bill recently introduced in the Legislature to establish whipping-posts for the espectal benent of wife-beaters, heretofore described at large in these dispatches to the ENQUIRER, has attracted much attention and discussion throughout the State. The press and people demand almost with one voice that it shall pass, the desire to see the wife-beaters get a plentiful dose of cat-o'-ninetails seeming well-uigh universal. Some of the members for a while thought it only a good joke, regarding the bill as one of those measures introduced for the purpose of producing fun, but they have now become convinced that it will be seriously pressed. Yesterday the bill came up in the House for a second reading, and thereupon a few of the would-be wits attempted to laugh it down. Mr.

T. J. Lindley, of Hamilton County, suggested an amendment to allow the injured wife to do the whipping after her beliigerent husband had been convicted of assauit and battery upon her. This on the principle that one good or. bad turn deserves another, or what is sauce for the goose being equally pudding for the gander.

Linley's amendment caused a laugh, but 1t WAS nevertheless voted down by a vociferous majority 8S tending to ridicule the bill. Mr. G. D. Teker, the facetious member from Clay thought the words, "except in self defense," should be added to the opening clause of the bill as a plea in justification, or, rather, by way of contession and avoidauce on the partof the wife-beaters when arraigned for pummeling their better halves.

In addition to this, motions, to lay on the table indefinitely postpone, refer back to Committee and other dilatory tactics were resorted to, but in vain. The bill got through to its third reading, and the indications are that it will finally pass the House. The violent opposition of the minority eugendered the awful suspicion that some of them feared. they might become obnoxious to the provisions of the bill if passed, and that they were influenced by the maxim, "A fellow-feeling makes us wonderous The House Committee on Claims having recommended the payment of the claim of David Munson for 85,000, for erecting lightning rods over the Insane Asylum building, the Ways and Means Committee were instructed to incorporate the same in the Specifie Appropriation Bill. A similar disposition was made of a claim preferred by Messrs.

Walter Langridge, a scenic artist, formerly of the Chestnut-street Theatre, Philadelphia, but recently. of English's Opera-house, died here yesterday.

The amount was due him as salary while connected with the Club. Other members will Ale similar suits. Receiver Smith, of the Fort Wayne, Muncie and Cincinnati Railroad, has filed his report with the Clerk, of the United States Court, showing the business of the road for three years past. The total receipts were $637,048 83, and the expenditures amounted to $531,392 83, making the net earnings of the road- $102,651 for the three years. The following divorces have been granted in the Superior Court: Jane Paige from Jos.

Virginia the Possessor of a Steam Volcano, and Yet She Refuses to Pay Her Obligations. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE ENQUIRER. RICHMOND, February received here from Gautley Bridge, Fayette County, states that there is intense excitement over the discovery of a volcano.

While Mr. James G. Jones was prospecting for minerals on the top of one of the Allegheny Mountains he made the discovery. He telegraphs the following brief account: I chanced to turn my eyes to the left, and noticed, some fifteen or twenty yards from me, a sinoke, which seemed to be produced by a small Are. I thought it strange that a Are of that kind should be upon this mountain so tar from any dwelling.

I walked near to see that I was not mistaken, and upon reaching the spot I found it was not smoke, as I had at first thought, but steam. which seemed to gush from the earth with great heat and force, which had an indescribable and sickening odor. I then put a pole twenty-one feet long (which was the longest one I could And) in the holes, but could not touch any bottom. The heat and its unpleasant odor made it impossible for me to examine the hole more than moment or time. I then dropped some recks in the hole, and could hear them for some time plunging and roaring as they went down into this bottomless hole or steam-valve.

I then lighted a match and applied, it to the steam, thinking perhaps there be some gas, but the match was extinguished the moment the steam from this cave touched it. I thet lighted a large piece of paper and put it down in the hole some four or five feet, but it, too, was Immediately extinguished when coming in contact with the steam, the draft being 80 great that it blew the paper from its 'mouth some five or six feet, Although the volcano is in wild and inaccessible region, it has been to-day visited by hundreds.

FALL RIVER, February few years ago talk of a strike by the operatives in the milis here created a stir among manufacturers, The corporations with heavy debts, and all Interest accounts drawing on them each day, were exceedingly in the strike matters, and made some concessions. To-day the corporations have come out of their financial struggle in excellent condition. Large dividends have been declared by some of the mills during the past week, and the wide-awake operatives know 1t.

MARION, February tragedy WAS al most committed ten miles east of here on Wednesday evening, which will probably result in the death of Henry Huff. On Wednesday evening, at Stringtown, Huff was in the street at that place in front of George Rood's store, making a loud noise. Rood ordered him to stop, but Huff persisted in making a louder noise, when Rood went into his store and brought out a revolver, and fired at Huff, the ball taking effect in the back part of the head. The wound will, beyond a doubt, prove fatal. Huff's brother came to town yesterday almost crazed from the occurrence, and last night he was found at the river bank, where he would have jumped in and com.

mitted suicide. He persisted in killing himself, but was closely watched during last night, and seems to be more rational to-day. Rood has not been arrested yet, It is supposed he escaped. A mysterious shooting took place in the western portion of this place last night, which, up to this writing, the parties or their designs can not be discovered. The people west on Fourth street about ten o'clock were awakened by cursing, and afterward several shots were exchanged between two bodies of men.

No clew. A suit for bastardy was filed before 'Squire Strech yesterday by Miss Cora Francis against Isaiah Gilpin. The defendant could not be found, he having skipped. 'Squire sent the case before the Court. Norwalk, Ohio.

DESPERATE FIGHT WITH A BURGLAR. NORWALK DEPOT, February yesterday morning at about five o'clock Mr. Jacob Bush, who keeps the Farmers' Hotel, was awakened by hearing some one going stairs. He thought it was the housokeeper, but presently a person descended. Mr.

Bush arose quietly, and discovered a burly negro rummaging in the dining-room. Mr. Bush made for the burglar, and, seizing him from behind, raised an alarm. The negro snatched a large dinner-bell from table and struck Mr. Bush two heavy blows on the head, outting him badly and momentarily stunning him.

The housekeeper came to the rescue at juncture, and seized the ruffian by the hair. He succeeded in the struggle in biting one of her fingers almost off. Bush recovered, and seized him by the throat just as he had overpowered the housckeeper and was escaping into the street. The struggle continued in: the street, the housekeeper screaming for help at the top of her voice. Bush hung to the desperado's throat, who a sharp iron jimmy and stabbed him ten times in the face and bead and many times in the body.

Although bleeding profusely from his many severe wounds, and notwithstanding the vietous thrusts and stabs from the desperate negro, Mr. Bush hung to his throat till Charles Mulholland, a young man next door, came to his aid. After a desperate struggle, they secured him and handed him over to the police, who locked him up. The negro gives his name as John Smith. He has been hero three days, working at the St.

Charles Hotel. Mr. Bush's wounds are very serious. He is yet very weak from the great loss of blood. He deserves high credit for his plucky conduct.

The negro's examination will be held Wednesday. VERNON'S VENOM. A Husband's Cruel Persecution of a Wronged Wife-He Deserts Her in Tennessee, and Five Years Afterward Finds Her Married Again in Indiana. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE ENQUIRER. KoKOMO, February developed in this city, yesterday, romance in real life that is invested with all the thrilling details necessary for the groundwork of a sensation "yellow-back." To begin at the beginning, it is necessary for your correspondent to give a little ante-date history, as gathered from interviews with the chief actors themsolves this morning.

On the 26th day of July; 1874, in Campbell County, Miss Mary E. Siler-a lighthearted, innocent, comely, farmer girl, of eighteen summers--was married to James Vernon, an adventurer from Virginia, then in theemploy of the United States Secret Service to ferret out "Moonshiners" in Tennessee. The mated pair lived happily together until January, 1875, when the young husband left home ou 8 detective raid, since which time he was never again seen or heard of by his wife until yesterday, when he suddenly appeared in this city in quest of her. Mr. Vernon claims that he was shot and knifed alinost to death on the first night after he left home, six years ago, by some "Moonshiners" whom his posse was attempting to capture; that he was carried in an unconscious condition, to Knoxville, where he laid up for six weeks, when, not being able to hear from his wife, he was conveyed to his parents' home at Lynchburg, that he remained there for four years before he recovered sufficiently to do a day's work; that from that day to this he has been hunting for his wife; that he had traced her from Campbell County, where he left her on that memorable night in January, 1875, to her relatives in Arkansas.

At the latter place he was told that she bad gone to Kokomo, whither he traced his steps and arrived yesterday morning. Diligent inquiry soon assured him of his wife's presence here, but with this knowledge came the "crushing" information she was the wife of another, having married William Horton in this city on the lith day of last May, and having given her first husband up as lost forever. Unlike the hero in Tennyson's immortal story of "Enoch Arden," husband No. 1 did not nurse his woes like a worm in the bud, bless the happy couple and leave them to enjoy their innocent marital bliss unmolested, but at once proceeded, like a starved tiger, to heartlessly and ferociously insist on his rights. He called at the home of his former wife, unannounced and like one risen from the dead.

The meeting was tearful on her part, but furious on Vernon's part. He gave her the cruel alternative of either renouncing her second marriage vows and going with him, or suffer the disgrace and public notoriety of being savagely prosecuted in the Courts for bigamy. Her woman's unerring instinct guided her safely and aright in the trying ordeal. She no longer saw in Vernon the true and affectionate husband of her early wifehood, but a man that had craelly deserted her six years ago without cause, and whom she had given up as dead or worse to her. She hesitated but a moment, and then gave her answer in a manner that required tition to be understood.

The irate husband No. 1 this morning fled his complaint, charging Mrs. Horton with bigamy, and there the matter rests. Vernon had one child by the woman, but husband No. 2 has not been similarly blessed.

Horton is a mechanic, quiet, sober and industrious. He works in the machine shops here, and is well liked by all who know him. Mrs. the contested wife, is rather good-looking woman of medium size, and has always borne a good character. For several years she worked at the Central House, this city.

Vernon is a tough-looking customer, and the general belief is that he is persecuting the woman unjustly. Public indignation runs high against him, and much interest is felt it the approaching legal test of conjugal possession. A POLITICAL DISPUTE Ends in the Murder of' One of the Participants Patricks Payton Sbet By Burke. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE ENQUIRER. SCRANTON, February 13-Between eleven and twelve o'clock last nighta number of men came together in the saloon of Wm.

Burke, in Pinebrook, in the Seventh Ward of this city. Burke is well known as "Billy," and bears a bad reputation for boisterousness. The men began to talk about the politics of the ward, and Burke declared that a man named McGee, the candidate for Constable in the ward, could not read or write. Patrick Payton, one of the men, asserted that such was not the case, and Burke approached him. The discussion became somewhat excited, and Burke drew a revolver and shot Payton in the left side.

He fell to the floor and Burke escaped. Police officers were soon on band, and a dillgent search was instituted for Burke. It was found that a man had hurried through the The snow in a northerly direction from the city, officers procured a carriage and followed the path which led to Oliphant, a village six miles from the city. Burke was found at four o'clock in the picrning in the house of a friend. After a slight scuflle he was secured and brought to the elty.

Payton, who is nfty years of age, died at twelve o'clock to-day. Burke was sent to jail. For the last fifteen years he has been source of much trouble to the police, and short time ago completed four years' term in the Peniteutiary for stealing a man's watch after knocking him down. SOME folks will "go it on their own hook" and afterward bewail their fate, despite the constant warnings of the Press. Not so, however, with Mr.

L. W. Stellwag, of Springfeld, who, in speaking with our reporter, observed: Thad occasion to prove St, Jacobs 011 an excellent remedy for sprains. I sprained my foot, and knowing that the remedy had done splendid service in a similar case, I sent for a bottle. The conndence I had in the artiele was not misplaced, and was well rewarded, for in four days I could walk withont any inconvenience.

That no physician could prescribe any thing better under liko circumstances I am perfectly satisfied. tion of the matter would convince ADY one not biased that the amount of money made now by a corporation is not :80 large as to justify the cry that corporations are now making extraordinary earnings by grinding the wages of operatives. Accordingly they stand firm and say that at present business will not. admit an advance. The result is dissatisfation and consequent Ill feeling.

Formerly there was little stock held out of the city; now I there is an immense amount held by outsiders who are wealthy, who can pass through a strike and hardly know It, especially when they feel that consequent good business follows 8 strike which remunerates stockholders, The speculator in stocks considers a strike his golden opportunity, for when stocks tumble he picks them up and sells them again at an advance when the right time comes. Both the Spinnets' Association and the United Weavers' Association have voted to strike a certain number of mills. It is unknown to outsiders when it will be done, and probably the Associations themselves are to De governed by contingencies which may arise. A strike in a few mills will precipitate a shut-down in all others, for manufacturers have no idea of contesting by piece-meal. They know that the difficulty can be sooner settled by a general stoppage, and while they dread the commotion of strike, they seem more quietly determined not to advance wages at the present condition of the markets than ever before.

While many operatives admit that they lose very heavily in a strike, they claim that they gain also in some respects and that in self-defense to guard against encroachments of capital they have to agitate, even though they suffer. A strike may occur during the present week. PINK AND WHITE. The Latest Society Wrinkle in New YorkSeveral Notable Weddings on the Tapis-Balls, Dinners and Receptions. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE ENQUIRER NEW YORK, February dinner, exceptionally sumptuous even in these days of luxury and display, was given by Mrs.

William Astor on Wednesday evening, at which covers were laid for twenty-two guests, nearly all of whom were young people, and many of the ladies so lovely and attractive as to divide attention with the glittering table equipage and the costly decorations and appointmeats of the banquet. On the same evening Miss Leila Vanderbilt and betrothed, Mr. Seward Webb, were entertained at dinner by Mrs. William C. Whitney, upon which occasion Miss Chamberlain, of Ohio, was one of the most admired guests.

The third and last Patriarch's ball will open next week's entertainments, and very sincere will be the regret felt by all who have enjoyed them when these delightful and popular entertainments are ended for the season. The wedding of Miss Hamilton -and Mr. Pierre Lorillard, will be the great event of Wednesday next. The ceremony, as has been before mentioned, will be in the Presbyterian form; and in a Presbyterian Church, and will be followed by the usual reception at the house of the bride's father. The presents are said to be exceptionally superb, but they will not be exhibited on the wedding day.

At the next meeting of the Married Ladies' Dancing Class, which will be on Friday of next week, the gentlemen will again appear in pink and the ladies in white, which will make a pretty effect of color in the noble gallery of pictures where the cotillon will be danced. Shrove Tuesday, which falls this year on the Ist of March, would seem to be a favorable day for weddings. The marriage Redmond and Mr. Livingston is announced to take place on that day, and also wedding of Mr. Edward Bell and Miss Helen Wilmerding, which will be at one o'clock at Christ's Church, Fifth avenue and Thirtyfifth street, and will be followed by a small reception at the house of the bride's mother, on East Thirty-first street.

Mr. Bell's farewell bachelor dinner will be given on Monday, the 21st inst. The marriage of Miss Elizabeth Dawes, of Baltimore, a granddaughter of the late Colonel James Monroe, of this city, and a direct descendant of President Monroe, to Mr. Emory Warfield, will take place, in Baltimore, on the 10th of April. On Thursday next, the 17th a wedding will take place in London which almost any of us would like to see.

The bride is the rich Miss Maynard, and the bridegroom is Lord Brooke, son of the Earl of Warwick, the Kingmaker in the days of York and Lancaster, THE SAD STORY Of an Artist's Downfall Through Drink-His Wife Brings Suit Against His Alleged Destroyers for Heavy Damages. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE ENQUIRER. CHICAGO, February Lucy A. Elkins, the wife of Henry A. Elkins, the artist and landscape painter, bas begun an action in trespass in the Superior Court against William Cudney, William E.

Mortimer, Geo. Tapper and Robert P. Price. The lady sues for $25,000 damages, and submits the story of her woes to the Court lu a declaration that forcibly and clearly sets forth the evil results of intemperance. Her story is a sad one, and is to 1 the effect that in 1876 her husband was an artist of great excellence and wide reputation.

By the exercise of bis profession he was carning not less than $10,000 per annum, which he expended for the support of his wife and their two little children, Henry Arthur and Hattie Elkins, now ten and eight years of age, respectively. Cudney, one of the defendants, was the owner of the dram-shop, the building owned by Mortimer Tapper; while Price, the remaining defendant, had control of it. From October, 1876, and for years therealter, Cudney sold intoxicating, drinks, according to the declaration filed, to Mr. Elkins until he became a confirmed drunkard and neglected his profession and his family. It was there, the aggrieved wife states, that her husband squandered his hard -earned income until he had expended not less than $20,000.

Cudney, she says, enticed the unfortunate artist to his place, and kept him in a continued state of intoxication. The wife entreated, begged, and Anally forbid Cudney, she says, to sell or to permit her husband to. drink at his dram-shop, but without avail. The once famous artist at last became reckless and dissipated to excess. He, as a consequence, became careless, idle and utterly regardless of his profession, until he was totally incapacitated for its exercise.

as well as enfeebled in mind and body, and falled to support his family, Afrs. Elkins sues Cudney as the keeper of the place, Mortimer and Tapper as the owners of the building, and Price as the agent. These men, she insists, were aware of the mature of the business Cudney was conducting in the building, and therefore are liable to her for the damage she has sustained in the ruin of her husband and their once happy home. AS YOU CHEWS. Fine-Cut Dodge of the Tobacco Dealers, Who Are Up to Sang.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE ENQUIRKE, NEW YORK, February leading cigarmakers of this city, representing. $15,000,000 capital, organized to-day. to guard against repetitions of certain recent great failures in the tobacco trade, which they believe were of a fraudulent nature.

"THE TRUMP SEVEN" Who Robbed the Northampton Bank. Trial of Red Leary and Connors Postponed Till March. Peculiar Complications of the Case--The Losers Anxious to Compromise $800,000 of the Swag Still Hidden and Untouched. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE ENQUIRER. NORTHAMPTON, February trial of "Red" Leary, of Brooklyn, N.

and Billy Connors, of Philadelphia, for participation in robbing the Northampton Bank in 1874 of $1,250,000, set down for to-morrow, has been postponed to the next term of the Superior Court here, in March. The Government just at this time is laboring under peculiar obstacles relative to the case. Counsel for the bank thieves originally is the present Government District Attorney for this county, who is also looking forward to possible appointment to a vacant Judgeship on the Superior Bench. He defended Scott and Dunlap, two of the gang who robbed the bank a few years since, and who were confeted and sentenced to Concord State Prison for fifteen years ench. To take advantage of any information he might have gained AS counsel for these men and turn against their alleged confederates, he considers unprofessional, although he might follow the precedent established by a noted Boston lawyer, who, as Attorney-General in capital case in 1872 used information he had obtained while counsel in a civil action to convict his client afterward.

In that case the man was hung. The District Attorney, however, In the case of "Red" Leary and Connors, has provided that 1f they are tried special counsel shall be employed to represent the prosecution. From the present aspect of the case the Arrest of Leary and Connors seems to have been with the purpose of getting them to divulge where they have hid the proceeds of the robbery. People here who owned it, and who have become impoverished by their loss, have always been disposed to compromise with the burglars for even the return of one-half of the property stolen. But the Government has stood in their way.

Scott and Dunlap could have turned up the for $150,000 1f immunity WAS promised them and the rest of the gang, but the Government was inexorable. Upon their conFiction many of the once wealthiest men of the place who were losers went to them on bended knees, and with tears in their eyes begged a return of even a third of their property. Scott and Dunlap, who are men of intelligence, appeared touched by these supplications, and replied that they would think about the matter. On their sentence they gave their answer that, "As we are to suffer for this job, it is but fair that we should have something to bridge over our old age. We do not owe you or Massachusetts any thing except our time in prison." The old men wept, and two of them went insanc.

In the past few years Pinkerton's men have been in communication with Scott and Dunlap, but the latter have persistently refused to divulge any thing. The past week "Red" Leary and Connors have been approached in a similar way with the same purpose, but without effect. Johnny Hope, now in Sing-Sing for the Manhattan Bank robbery, and who WAS one of the "Trump Seven" who did that job, has also refused to squeal, The sixth, Edson, the safe builder of New York, who placed the locks in the safe when it was built, and who assisted in the robbery, lost the confidence of the gang when he turned State's evidence against Scott and Dunlap. Since then he has known absolutely nothing relative to the disposal of the plunder. The seventh man and leader of the gang, "the tallest of them," has never been known to the officers, and his identity has for six years proved a mystery to them.

Even Edson did not know him. After the trial of Scott and Dunlap, officers through a woman found the spot where the money and bonds had been buried; but on, reaching the spot they ascertained that the stuff had been hastily removed to a locality which is now supposed to be known only to Dunlap. From the rogues it has been ascertained that during the past six years $100,000 in ready money has been realized by them from the amount stolen, and that $850,000 in bonds still remain to be disposed of. As the case now stands, what remains of the plunder can only be recovered by the pardon of Scott and Dunlap, and immunity of the rest of the gang from prosecution, with the payment of $150,000 by the losers. This would issue the return of $700,000, little more than one-halt of the amount stolen.

This seems to be the ultimatum of the rogues just now; and the owners. of the property seem only too glad to accept it if the Government could only be induced to assist them in agreeing to the terms of the thieves.

FRANKIE'S FREAK. A Girl's Checkered Career -Pwice in the Penitentiary, Once in the Cincinnati WorkHouse, and Yet Her Sex Not Discovered -A Story That Should Be Read With 81 Allowance. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE ENQUIRER.

NEWCOMERSTOWN, OHIO, February Webb, of Uhricksville, arrested a young lady named Florence Goldsborough, last Tuesday evening, who wears men's clothing, smokes, chews, and drinks bad whisky. The girl has quite a romantic history, and an ExQUIRER reporter obtained the following incldents of her past career: She was born near Bridgeport, Belmont County, her father being the Rev. Goldsborough, pastor of the M. E. Church.

When she was sixteen years old she donned the garb of a farmer's boy, assumed the name of Frank Harper, and left home. She went to Guernsey County and worked a year on the farm of Rev. Norton, near Middleburg. She next went to Columbus, and, after driving on 8 street-car for six months, she returned to Belmont County and hired with a farmer, near Bellaire. A short time after this some drovers, who ere lodging at the Globe House, kept by Zeke Morris, were robbed.

Florence was arrested, tried for the crime, convicted and given three years in the Penitentiary, where she served her time working on cane-seat chairs. After her release she went to Cincinnati and obtained a situation as assistant Clerk on the steamer Alaska in the New Orleans trade. After one season's work she went to Cleveland and drove on street cars for a year, and then retarned to Columbus and wotked on a farm for a man named Noble, robbed him of $400, and got another term of three years in the Penitentiary, where she again worked in the chair business. After serving her time out she went to Cincinnati and clerked in a drug. store on the corner of Eighth and Vine streets, was arrested by the proprietor for stealing, and served nine months in the Work-house.

She has since been in Columbus, Newark, Coshocton and other places, and is now in the Unricksville lock-ap awaiting trial. Florence being dressed like a boy, was of course not without her admirers among the fair sex, as the following gushing epistle from one of her sweethearts of this county shows: ORIO, January 21, 1881. MY OWN DEAR I now take pleasure in righting you as I received a letter yesterday cavening my own Dear yes indeed I will continue loving you as 1 do now no difference where you are.
