It was indeed. Norton was the name of the man to whom I had written for an editor, and who had sent me one! Norton was ever an obliging fellow.
WHY I AM NOT EDITING "THE STINGER"
J. Munniglut, Proprietor, to Peter Pitchin, Editor.
"STINGER" OFFICE, Monday, 9 A.M.
A man has called to ask "who wrote that article about Mr. Muskler." I told him to find out, and he says that is what he means to do. He has consented to amuse himself with the exchanges while I ask you. I don't approve the article.
Peter Pitchin, Editor, to J. Munniglut, Proprietor.
13 LOFER STREET, Monday, 10 A.M.
Do you happen to remember how Dacier translates Difficile est proprie communia dicere? I've made a note of it somewhere, but can't find it. If you remember please leave a memorandum of it on your table, and I'll get it when I come down this afternoon.
P.S.—Tell the man to go away; we can't be bothered about that fellow Muskler.
