AN ENQUIRY.
(to the editor op the southland times.; Sic, — Iv Invercargill at the present time there is living a hearty old gentleman, whom I will call John Autumn — he is, by the way, the father of fourteen children, ten of whom are yet alive ; his eldest son is named John Autumn (say John Autumn, No 2). J. A's No 2 eldest son is also named John Autumn (say J. A. No 3). J. A's No 3 eldest son is likewwise named John Autumn (say J. A. No 4.) As No 4 is about to be married, how shall I address a letter that it may reach him easily ? Evidently John Autumn, junior, would not do, and John Autumn, aged 18 years, would look very singular. Perhaps, you Mr Editor, or with your permission, some of your correspondents may be so. good as to enlighten me. — I am, &c, A Puzzled Mjly. August 12 th, 1867.
