Messrs. Greenery & Bills, Steam Bakery, Dumbridge.
Dear Sir,—After the offensive slur upon bakers in the current number of your paper we feel that we have no other course but to withdraw our advertisement; so please discontinue it from this date.
Yours faithfully,
Greenery & Bills.

Mrs. Stirring to the Editor of “The Eastbury Herald.”
Sir,—I fear you have not done your best to check the progress of your slanderous paragraph, since only this morning I received the enclosed. You will probably not be surprised to learn that through your efforts the old-world paradise of Kildin, in which we had hoped to end our days, has been rendered impossible. We could not settle in a new neighbourhood with such an initial handicap.
Yours truly, Augusta Stirring.
