Dear Jack: I promised yr.i sometime ngo to look over the Post Cilice Repot t OU sent me. and fgurc up some of it and let you know how the account stood.

When Mr. McLean was in the office things went on straight as a hair, and as regular as clock work. Every body's paper- and letters went where they aught to go, and got therein season. Since Mr. B..rr been in, the mails have been hi Iter skiher; sometimes they'd get along a day or two afterwards, sometimes they would'nt get alo"g at all.
