NOTICE TO CORRESPONDENTS
G.S.S - Eeceirei We will take time to rea.l your letter again and decirie whe'her it is matter p: >per for publication At pres&nl we don't think it is, but reflection may alter that opinion. Sappho— Your verse? p.irporteJ. to be original but they had a fjnilhr jingle abmt them. In fact, we thought we hid seen 'em before, and on turning up a few useful Books of leference we found tha". they anpeare.l over the signature of Mrs Sferaans. OT course we do not wish to insinuate th.it you'aie a vulgar plagiarist. Far from it, dear sir, only as you sign your name John Brown (thab's about as near your right name as Sappho) we thought it cou'ld'nt be Hemans. Besides, on second refleccion, Mrs Hemans was a woman and you're well never mind wha(. you are. Bun there is just another hypothesis. There ia such a thing as two great minds thinking in a grove. But as youra is not a gre i »t mind the grove won't fit. Well then, pertaaps you wrote ib first, and Mrs Henaans copied it, or sh") was -i clairvoynt, and dreamed all about ib years ago. or you are Airs Ueinans after all incognita— or — well, — hang it, — we give ib up !
