JOSH BILLINGS AND THE LEKTUR COMMITTY.
Letters which pass from great men to great men are often wise to owlishness, and so successfully discursive as to treat beautifully upon everything but the point at "issoo."
Salt Point, Feb. 0th, 1867.
J. Billings, Esqr.:
I am instructed by our association to inquire ov you, and solicit a reply, if you could read a discourse before our lyceum this winter, and if so, at what time, on what subject, and upon what terms.
Most respectfully yours,
Ezra Smith, Cor. Sec'y.
