EDITOR.

We are gratified to print the following letter:

DEAR EDITOR:

We, the citizens of the Junior Republic, wish to thank you for
those magazines, THE GREAT ROUND WORLD, that you were
so kind to send to us.

We have entered them in our library and they are being read
thoroughly by the citizens. The article on our Republic in the

Yours sincerely,

WILLIAM DAPPING, Judge Criminal Court.
C.G. SMITH, District Attorney.
JACOB G. SMITH, President of G.J.R.
C.W. BREWSTER, Secretary of State.
A. ANDERSON, President of Provident Fund.
LE ROY W. OLIVER, Congressman.
S.E. BROWN, Senate.
LOUIS FURHMAN, Keeper.
JAMES WESTERVELT.
T. HERNAN, Speaker of House.
L.M. YOUNG, Speaker of Senate.
EDWARD KING, Proprietor of Restaurant.
MAJOR HERVEY E. MILLER, Secretary of Treasury.

TO THE EDITOR:

We wish to extend to you and your friends a cordial invitation
to visit our Republic.

Yours,
THE CITIZENS, per WILLIAM DAPPING.

FREEVILLE, N.Y., March 17th, 1897.
