ggs ila a regular regular imposition and so forth ort brt but I 1 have lo 10 long iong hzag since nce caine come t to 0 the tho conclusion that tuat mall mail contrad contractors tors tons like bishops and editors 3 are an institution 1 I 1 instituted on pu purpose to be ibe grumbled rumbled at that they are a much abugel abused set of men who ho are expected to accommodate please and provide for everybody and th their thein e ir wants without receiving so mu much ela cli as gratitude for their pay anet ar e sup bup posed to be able to perform impossibilities control nature and be
