or money returned. None has been sent at this 

 date. The following came to hand in m3' absence, 

 and was replied to at once on my return, to the ef- 

 fect that we should of course be glad to publish any 

 thing from him. 



LDiigcuntiinied overwork has so far impaired Mr. I'.Tirrh's 

 o.Vfsitrht, tluit he is unable to write to any one. Will you allow

To-day we get the following: 



Your answer to our inquirv of .lulv l.ith ha.s just reached us. 

 We re^fret that vou did not replv at onee.as it is too late now to 

 prepare an .irtiele for the Au.nist No. Mr. B. is still unable to 

 do uiu.h writinir. HA. Bl'Rcii & Co.

It don't look to rne as though we wanted a:i " arti- 

 cle," friend B. Your friends want their bees or 

 their money, and I do not see how ill health or any 

 thing else should prevent your wife or friends, or 

 the man who manages the apiary, from complying 

 with such simple acts of courtesy and justice. I 

 have been told Mr. B. has about 300 colonies, and, in 

 fact, he says so himself. 



The foUowitig is a list of those who have sent hint 

 orders, and who have not, as far as I am informed, 

 received either bees or money, and they now get no 

 answers from him: —

I agree to be responsible for my advertisers, and 

 if Mr. Burch, or any other one, fails to send the 

 goods, or return the money. I will pay back the 

 amount as soon as it is determined that it can not be 

 collected of such advertiser. It does not seem to 

 me that I should be responsible for damages result- 

 ing from delays in filling orders. I choose to do this, 

 because I think it will teach me to be careful from 

 whom I receive advertisements; ind our bee folks 

 should certainly have some protection against losing 

 their hard earnings in this way. With God's help, I 

 expect to be able to bear such burdens as I may 

 meet. Two individuals have written me, protesting 

 against my injustice to Mr. Burch. One of them 

 gave me some names from South Haven. If these 

 gentlemen will come forward and guarantee that 

 friend B. will make good the above amounts, they 

 will prove friends in need and friends indeed.
