Dear Mr. Hickman Without reservation, sans caution, acknowledgement is hereby given that your written contribution to Rappahannock News, as of yesterday, is the most unique, candid, and entertaining yet received.
My dear Mr. Hickman, as lovers of our. fellowmen, you and I see eye to eye—^occasionally,’ perhaps. ““Like, the debonair gentleman of whom you wrote so sulphuriously, I, too, love Rappahannopk, and although my love is not punctuated with similar causes but runs in a vein which 1 think you would designate as ‘‘essence of saccharine,” I don't want to be run ouf o’ the county, so—I ain’ta gonna publish yer letter. To prove my .kindheartedness —plus the aforementioned love of my fellowman—your choice composition will reside in a place of honor in the office of Rappahannock News for all visitors to see. The reasons for posting the epistle are these: (1) the work is too good ' to destroy; (2) I would like to collect statistics on . Rappahannock’s sense of humor; and (3) healthy curiosity deI'erves satisfaction. aWashington
