RECOMMENDATIONS.
TOTNESS, Oct. 20th, 1866.
MR. ARTEMUS WARD:
My dear Sir,--My wife was dangerously unwell for over sixteen years.
She was so weak that she could not lift a teaspoon to her mouth. But in a fortunate moment she commenced reading one of your lectures. She got better at once. She gained strength so rapidly that she lifted the cottage piano quite a distance from the floor, and then tipped it over on to her mother-in-law, with whom she had some little trouble. We like your lectures very much. Please send me a barrel of them. If you should require any more recommendations, you can get any number of them in this place, at two s.h.i.+llings each, the price I charge for this one, and I trust you may be ever happy.
I am, Sir,
Yours truly, and so is my wife,
R. SPRINGERS.
