AN old woman received a letter, and, supposing it to be from one of her
absent sons, she called on a person near to read it to her. He
accordingly began and read, Charleston, June 23, 1859. Dear mother,
then making a stop to find out what followed (as the writing was rather
bad), the old lady exclaimed, Oh, 'tis my poor Jerry; he always
stuttered!
